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.
Far infrared fiber is a kind of electromagnetic wave with wavelength of 31000 m. It has good thermal effect because of its resonance with water molecules and organic compounds. In far-infrared fibers, ceramic (functional metal oxide) powders emit far-infrared rays at normal body temperature.
Far-infrared fibers refer to the addition of powder containing far-infrared function (some functional metal or non-metallic oxides, pulverized to nanoscale or micro-nano-scale powders) in the spinning process, and then evenly blended and drawn. The far-infrared function achieved by this method is very functional and will not disappear with washing.
In recent years, it has been widely concerned and has been put into production and use, which is made by adding far-infrared absorbent (ceramic powder) into the fiber processing process, and is a positive and efficient heat-insulating material, and the far-infrared ray of the radiation also has the active cell tissue. In the mid-1980s, Japan was the first to develop and introduce far-infrared fabrics to the market.
At present, the combination of far-infrared fiber and magnetic therapy are becoming a composite health care fabric.
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%.
