About cottonseed

cpc code 0143 covers the industry of cottonseed production. Cottonseed is a vital agricultural commodity, serving as a raw material for a range of products including cooking oil, animal feed, and various industrial applications. As a byproduct of cotton cultivation, the cottonseed industry is closely tied to the broader cotton industry, which is a significant contributor to the global economy.

Production process

The production of cottonseed involves several key steps. After cotton is harvested, the cottonseed is separated from the cotton fiber through a process called ginning. The cottonseed is then processed to extract the oil, which is refined and used for various purposes. The remaining cottonseed meal is used as a high-protein animal feed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the cottonseed industry include the raw cotton crop, which provides the cottonseed as a byproduct. Additionally, the industry relies on processing equipment such as cotton gins, oil extraction machinery, and refining facilities. Transportation infrastructure is also a critical input, as cottonseed and its derived products must be efficiently moved to domestic and international markets.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cottonseed industry are cottonseed oil and cottonseed meal. Cottonseed oil is used for cooking, as well as in the production of various consumer goods and industrial products. Cottonseed meal is a valuable livestock feed, often consumed by 0241 Cattle Ranching and Farming and 0251 Dairy Cattle and Milk Production industries.
