# China impasse pressures cottonseed prices as gins fire up - Grain Central

> Australian cottonseed prices are expected to fall further as ginning of Queensland and New South Wales crops speeds up and adds seed to an oversupplied market. China, which bought over one-third of Australia's 2017 cottonseed output, has yet to show any shipments because of unresolved Bollgard III certification issues.

## Why it matters

Lack of Chinese demand and a surplus of US cottonseed weigh on cottonseed as a feed ingredient, so buyers can expect soft pricing in the near term unless the certification issue is resolved.
