Raw Cotton (Lint)

Raw cotton (HS 520100) is a foundational agricultural commodity underpinning the global textile and apparel supply chain, with India, China, the US, and Brazil collectively accounting for over 70% of world production. Country of origin is highly critical due to trade sanctions (e.g., Xinjiang Cotton Act in the US), phytosanitary compliance requirements, and preferential tariff eligibility under numerous FTAs. Price dynamics are heavily influenced by ICE futures, seasonal crop forecasts, and competitive positioning against polyester and other synthetic fibers.
