Şanlıurfa Chamber of Agriculture Daily Cotton Prices

Şanlıurfa cotton price is not determined daily, on the contrary, periodic Urfa cotton prices are announced by considering post-harvest production expenses and the current market. Cotton bales, called 'preseli pamuk', are products created by processing and compressing cotton. The quality of cotton is classified according to its color and fiber length. For example, the term 'Preseli Pamuk 31 Renk' indicates that the cotton bale is white and of medium quality. Cotton prices in Şanlıurfa may also vary depending on seasonal conditions, product quality and the international cotton market. The wastes resulting from cotton production are called ‘pamuk küspesi’ or cottonseed meal: these are generally used as feed for livestock. Therefore, Şanlıurfa cotton pulp prices also have a separate economic importance for farmers and livestock farmers in the region.
