The cottonseed industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader cotton supply chain, providing essential planting material and other valuable byproducts.

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.
