A Regional Comparison of U.S. Cotton Basis Patterns

1997

The basis, defined as the cash price minus the futures price, is important when making marketing decisions. The cotton basis is calculated using the July futures price for six major cotton marketing regions in the U.S. for August 1993 to November 1997. Graphs of the average basis for the four complete crop years show that the basis generally followed the expected seasonal pattern. The basis tended to be weakest at harvest and to strengthen later in the crop year. However, a visual inspection showed regional differences in the seasonal pattern. Regional differences in the yearly variability in the basis were also observed. Thus, the usefulness of the average historical basis in predicting the future basis appears to differ depending on the region.

Profitability of Short Season Cotton Genotypes on the High Plains of Texas

The short growing season, dry climate, and limited precipitation reduce the yield and quality of cotton grown on the High Plains of Texas. As irrigation water levels decline in the southern counties of the High Plains of Texas, cotton production will probably move northward to areas with greater underground water levels. Freezing temperatures in late spring and early fall in these northern counties require that cotton be planted in late May and mature before mid-October. Developing genotypes that combine early maturity with high lint yield and improved fiber quality will be critical for successful cotton production in these areas. Chemical mutagenesis was used to produce 18 mutant lines, which were compared with seven commercial varieties for lint yield, fiber quality, fiber market price, and gross return when planted at Lubbock, TX on July 3 rd of 2000 and 2001. Three mutants, SC 9023-11, Holland 338-6, and GSA 1093-61 produced equivalent lint yields, higher fiber quality, and impr...

Producer prices in cotton markets: Evaluation of reported price information accuracy

Agribusiness, 1996

This study evaluates the accuracy of the US Department ofAgriculture~ Daily Spot Cotton Quotatiom; (DSCQ) in reporting producer prices in the Texas-Oklahoma cotton production regiom;. Analysis of price levels and movements suggests that the DSCQ tend to overstate estimated producer prices for base qualit), overstate quality discounts, and understate producer quality premiums in relation to hedonic measurement of prices. The DSCQ also did not move with the hedonic prices on a daily basis, but tended to lag the hedonic prices over longer periods. These lead-lag relatiom;hips did not appear consistent over qualities, regions, or years.

Relevance of Price Information in the Cotton Industry

An understanding of the role of price information to the cotton industry is not widespread, despite its relative importance. This paper examines the role of price information to the efficient operation of the cotton industry, the objective being to demonstrate the implications of incorrect price information. Examples from previous research and case studies on variety selection, ginning, contracting, and mill purchasing are used to show that incorrect price information can have implications on both the operational and pricing efficiency of the cotton market. Incorrect price information also has implications for broader issues such as trade, international competitiveness and government policy.
