About cottonseed, seed for planting

cpc code 01431 covers the production and processing of cottonseed, which is a vital input for the cotton industry. Cotton is a globally significant agricultural commodity, with the United States, China, and India being the world's largest producers. The cottonseed industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader cotton supply chain, providing essential planting material and other valuable byproducts.

Production process

Cottonseed production begins with the harvesting of cotton bolls. The seeds are then separated from the cotton fibers through a process called ginning. After ginning, the cottonseed is cleaned, dried, and prepared for distribution as planting material or further processing.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the cottonseed industry include land, water, and agricultural machinery for cultivation and harvesting. Additionally, the industry relies on 01111 Cotton, not carded or combed as a key raw material, as well as various chemicals and processing equipment for seed preparation and storage.

Production outputs

The main output of the cottonseed industry is, of course, cottonseed for planting purposes.
