India, the export power, adopted the policy of restricting cotton export, exacerbated the tension of supply of cotton. With the vigorous promotion of speculative capital, the international cotton price continued to rise sharply, reaching a new high in recent 15 years, and the CotlookA cotton price index rose 116.7%.

Cotton prices have soared to boost cotton production in India, the United States and Brazil.

With the development and demand of China's textile industry increasing, dependence on imported cotton has increased year by year.

Due to the impact of disaster weather on cotton production, the demand for domestic textile and garment industry is strong, and the gap between supply and demand is widening. Capital speculation has boosted domestic cotton prices in 2010, and import demand has increased.
