## About Raw Cotton (Kapas)

This series is raw seed cotton, called Kapas, as farmers sell it at the wholesale market before ginning. Arrivals run from October to March. Ginning separates Kapas into lint, which is pressed into 170 kg bales for spinning mills, and cotton seed for oil and feed. Roughly a third of Kapas by weight becomes lint, so a bale price is not the same as this Kapas price.

## How this price is worked out

This is the median modal price across all wholesale mandis reporting to Agmarknet, the Government of India's market information network, over the three most recent market days. We convert it to US dollars per tonne at the day's reference exchange rate. The weekly change compares the same markets one week earlier, so a change in which markets report does not show up as a price move.

## What this price is not

It is a domestic wholesale price for average market quality, before cleaning, grading, packing, inland freight and port costs. An export price for a specific grade will be higher. Ask us for a firm quotation against your specification.
