The projected data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in cottonseed losses in China, with values decreasing from 276.0 to 256.0 thousand metric tons. This represents a diminishing trend, reflecting a year-on-year average reduction rate of approximately 1.68%. Compared to 2023, which recorded a baseline, this steady decline may suggest improved efficiencies or changes in agricultural practices affecting cottonseed losses.

Future trends to watch for include:

Continued technological advancements and their impacts on reducing cottonseed losses.
Potential policy shifts towards sustainable agricultural practices.
Environmental factors such as climate change affecting crop production cycles.
Market fluctuations in global cotton demand impacting cultivation practices.
