In January 2019, the spot price of cotton in Brazil fell 2.08%. Brazil's cotton exports were active in the same period, exports expected to exceed 120000 tons in January, and high-grade cotton continued to sell well on the international market.
According to the Brazilian Mercantile Exchange, by February 13, Brazil had sold 64.8 percent of cotton (with a total output of 2 million tons) in 2017-2018, of which 57 percent were sold domestically, 31.2 percent were exported, and 11.8 percent were exported or sold domestically. According to the Brazilian Agency for Agricultural Statistics, Brazil's cotton output in 2018 / 2019 was 2.363 million tons. By the end of January, 23.5% had been sold, of which 48.2% were domestic, 24.9% were exported, and 26.8% were exported or sold domestically.
As the yield of cotton is higher than other crops, sales are expected to be good, and the Brazilian cotton output in 2018/ 2019 is expected to hit a new record, with exports expected to exceed India, second to the United States. According to statistics, the planting area of the main cotton-producing area in the Brazilian main cotton-producing area is 978,000 hectares, and the current sowing has been completed by 72.42%.
Uruguay's sheep exports reached $328 million in 2018, which was the highest since 2014. The export of wool and its derivatives amounted to $252 million, accounting for 70% of the total export value.
Wool exports rose 2 percent year on year in 2018, but exports rose 19 percent year on year as wool prices rose, with dirty wool exports up 32 percent.
From the point of view of export destination, China is the largest export destination of wool from Ukraine. In 2018, the value of imported dirty wool, wool washing and wool sliver from Uruguay accounted for 5975% and 25% of the export of similar products, respectively. Another major export market of Uruguay is mainly woolen wool imported from Ukraine by Germany: Germany imported wool from Ukraine 17% more in 2018 than the same period a year earlier, far exceeding the total amount of dirty wool and wool scouring imported from Ukraine.
1. Moisture absorption: cotton knitted fabric has good moisture absorption, under normal conditions, cotton fiber can absorb water into the atmosphere around, and its moisture content is 8-10%, so it contacts the human skin to make people feel soft and not stiff. If the moisture content of pure cotton jacquard fabric is increased and the surrounding temperature is high, the moisture content in the fiber will evaporate and dissipate, so that the fabric can keep water balance and make people feel comfortable.
2. Moisture retention: because cotton knitted fabrics are poor conductors of heat and electricity, their thermal conductivity is extremely low, and because the cotton fiber itself has the advantages of porosity and elasticity, there is a large amount of air accumulated between the fibers, and air is a bad conductor of heat and electricity. Cotton jacquard fabric has good moisturizing property, and wearing pure cotton jacquard fabric clothing makes people feel warm.
3. Heat resistance: pure cotton jacquard fabric has good heat resistance. When it is below 110 ℃, it will only cause moisture evaporation on the fabric and will not damage the fiber. Therefore, pure cotton jacquard fabrics will have no effect on the fabric at room temperature, wearing, washing, printing and dyeing, etc. Therefore, the washing and wear resistance of pure cotton jacquard fabric is improved.
4. Sanitation: cotton fibers are natural fibers in cotton knitted fabrics, and the main component of which is cellulose. The pure cotton jacquard fabric has been checked and practiced in many aspects. There is no stimulation, no negative effect on the contact between the fabric and the skin, and it is beneficial and harmless to the human body for a long time, and the sanitary performance is good.
