# Cottonseed prices gain 25%, making cattlefeed costlier - The HinduBusinessLine

> Indian cottonseed prices rose about 25% in a month, from ₹2,400 to ₹3,000 per quintal, following a sustained rally in cotton prices on weak crop prospects. Cottonseed cake and cottonseed oil are becoming more expensive. Some processors have cut operations to about 30% of capacity because of the pricing gap.
