During the third quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in the USA reached 1048 USD/MT in September. Prices moved upward as demand from the livestock feed sector and oil crushing units remained resilient. Strong buying interest from cattle feed producers supported consumption, while seasonal harvesting dynamics temporarily limited immediate availability. Higher transportation, storage, and handling costs across key producing states further influenced market conditions.
During the third quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in China reached 350 USD/MT in September. Prices declined as ample availability and subdued procurement from downstream feed processors weighed on the market. Comfortable inventories at crushing facilities reduced spot buying urgency. Slower feed sector activity, along with smooth domestic logistics and steady arrivals from producing regions, contributed to softer pricing conditions.
During the third quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in Japan reached 832 USD/MT in September. Prices increased due to the country’s strong dependence on imports to meet domestic demand. Feed manufacturers maintained consistent procurement, while limited spot availability tightened supply conditions. Import-related factors such as freight arrangements, port handling timelines, and procurement lead times also influenced market dynamics.
During the third quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in India reached 664 USD/MT in September. Prices strengthened amid steady demand from oil extraction units and animal feed producers. Controlled arrivals in certain cotton-growing regions restricted supply availability in domestic mandis. Farmer selling remained measured, limiting open-market volumes and supporting firmer price realization across key trading centers.
During the third quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in South Korea reached 865 USD/MT in September. Prices moved upward as demand from the livestock feed sector remained stable and substitution options were limited. Heavy reliance on imports exposed buyers to procurement and logistical costs. Feed producers focused on maintaining adequate inventories, which supported firm buying activity.
Cottonseed Prices Outlook Q2 2025
- USA: USD 1025/MT
- China: USD 356/MT
- India: USD 654/MT
- Japan: USD 810/MT
- South Korea: USD 855/MT
During the second quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in the USA reached 1025 USD/MT in June. In the USA, cottonseed prices were influenced by variable weather conditions across key growing regions, particularly in the South and Southwest, which impacted harvesting schedules and oil extraction yields. Demand from the animal feed and biofuel sectors remained steady, putting consistent pressure on available stocks. Transportation disruptions, including limited railcar availability and higher fuel costs, affected inter-state distribution. Additionally, export demand from Asia contributed to tightening domestic inventories, influencing spot market activity.
During the second quarter of 2025, cottonseed prices in China reached 356 USD/MT in June. In China, cottonseed pricing was shaped by reduced domestic production in certain provinces due to delayed planting and uneven rainfall patterns. Demand from the edible oil and livestock feed sectors remained firm, while local crushing operations faced increased input costs related to energy and labor. Import volumes from Central Asia and the USA were impacted by longer customs clearance times and rising logistics charges, contributing to supply-side uncertainty in regional markets.
During the second quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in India reached 654 USD/MT in June. In India, prices were primarily driven by demand from the dairy and poultry feed industries, alongside procurement activity by oil millers. The cotton harvest cycle neared completion in several states, leading to seasonal fluctuations in supply. However, delays in procurement by state agencies and logistical bottlenecks in the southern and western regions disrupted regular market arrivals. Increased costs for diesel and packaging materials added to distribution expenses, influencing farmgate-to-mill price differentials.
During the second quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in Japan reached 810 USD/MT in June. In Japan, cottonseed prices were influenced by high import dependency and limited domestic processing capacity. Increased freight costs, especially for shipments originating from the USA and Australia, raised landed costs for major feed manufacturers. Fluctuating currency exchange rates added complexity to purchasing decisions, while longer port clearance times created delays in delivery schedules. The livestock sector maintained stable consumption, but supply planning was challenged by inconsistent shipment intervals and tight inventories at bonded warehouses.
During the second quarter of 2025, the cottonseed prices in South Korea reached 855 USD/MT in June. In South Korea, pricing trends were impacted by firm demand from the animal feed and oleochemical sectors, combined with restricted availability of imports. Shipping constraints, including limited container space and longer lead times from major exporting countries, affected procurement cycles. Volatility in global oilseed markets led to cautious purchasing behavior among domestic crushers. Additionally, higher warehouse storage costs and elevated inland freight rates added to total acquisition costs for importers and processors.

Europe Cottonseed Price Trend
Q3 2025:
As per the cottonseed pricing index, the European market was shaped by stable procurement patterns and balanced demand from the animal nutrition sector. Consumption remained concentrated in countries with established dairy and poultry industries, where feed compounders followed routine sourcing strategies. Import dependence continued to influence buying behavior, with emphasis on shipment reliability and supplier consistency. Storage costs, inland transportation efficiency, and regulatory compliance requirements played a role in procurement planning, while adequate inventories supported orderly market functioning across the region.
Q2 2025:
European prices maintained high levels due to finite supplies. Production output was hampered by maintenance plans at refineries. Overall consumption did not significantly increase in spite of these supply-side issues, especially in the agricultural input segment. The market remained solid due to stable usage and limited availability. As a result, sustained supply pressures and steady downstream demands supported the cottonseed market's steady trajectory throughout the time frame.

North America Cottonseed Price Trend
Q3 2025:
As per the cottonseed pricing index, North America experienced an upward price movement, reflecting the strengthening price trend observed in the USA market.

Transportation costs and inter-regional logistics considerations affected distribution efficiency. Export interest also played a role in tightening spot availability, reinforcing the region’s upward pricing trajectory.
Q2 2025:
In North America, cottonseed prices were influenced by erratic weather patterns in the southern United States, which disrupted harvest quality and oil content in the crop. The animal feed and biofuel sectors sustained steady demand, tightening supply availability for crushers. Transportation bottlenecks, including reduced rail and truck fleet capacity, led to regional supply imbalances. Export activity to Asian markets increased, driven by strong foreign demand, further straining domestic inventory levels. Additionally, higher input costs for processing and packaging added upward pressure on pricing throughout the supply chain.

Product Description
Cottonseed is a by-product of the cotton plant, which is of immense importance and usage as an agricultural product. The hard outer shell, within which the seed is contained, has a rich inner core; this makes it greatly useful for oil extraction and animal feed purposes. The extracted oil from the cottonseed also finds favor with cooks due to its neutral flavor and health benefits, in that it contains low levels of cholesterol coupled with high levels of antioxidants.
In addition, the remaining cottonseed meal, after oil extraction, forms a very vital source of protein in animal feeds, thus enhancing their growth and health. Other than the nutritional uses, cottonseed oil is also applied in the cosmetics field due to its important moisturizing and emollient effects on human skin. The environmental benefits also raise its value, as all cottonseed products are biodegradable and hence contribute to sustainable development. Moreover, cottonseed serves as a versatile and economical product that plays an important role as a basic raw material in agro-industrial applications.
