A monthly cottonseed pricing report says the Midsouth benchmark cottonseed price rose 13% from $150 per ton in early February to $170 in early March. Several supportive developments in March shifted the outlook from neutral-to-bearish toward near-term upside.

Higher cottonseed prices raise feed costs for buyers who use it as a protein and fat source. The rally suggests the earlier downside outlook has reversed in the near term.
