In 2023, China's cottonseed production stood at 9.1 million metric tons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline in production volumes. The estimated figures show a decrease from 9.0 million metric tons in 2024 to 8.3 million metric tons by 2028, reflecting a gradual reduction over the years. The average annual change, as measured by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period, highlights a consistent downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential impacts of technological advancements in agricultural practices that may improve yields.
Challenges related to climate change affecting the growing conditions for cotton.
Policy changes or market shifts that could influence cottonseed demand and supply dynamics.
