Our cotton program offers ginned lint (26mm and 28mm+ staple) baled at standard 170kg and shipped to South-Asian and Turkish spinning mills, plus combed-cotton yarn for partners who prefer value-added rather than raw lint.

Where this cargo actually goes.
A country appears here only when the commodity file already names it. A new destination starts as an enquiry, not as a new page.
Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Turkey
These three are the mill countries on the cotton list. The offer is lint unless the proforma says yarn. A garment program is not this page.
Mill countries →China
The list says China (specialty). Specialty here means the 28 mm program. It is not a separate China grade, and it is not a volume claim.
China 28 mm →Yarn to the UK and the USA
Both market pages name cotton yarn as its own lane. Count and mill are written on the proforma. Yarn minimums change with the count.

Lint starts at one 40-foot high cube, about 80 bales or 13.6 metric tons. Price follows New York cotton futures plus or minus the Pakistan basis, quoted in the ginning season.
FAQ
Pakistani Cotton Export · FAQ
What staple lengths do you offer?
Standard 26mm Punjab lint and 28mm+ premium lint. Longer staples (>30mm) are not commercially available from Punjab — that's an Egyptian or US Pima territory.
Do you ship cotton yarn or only lint?
Both. Lint goes to spinning mills; combed cotton yarn (varied counts) is available for buyers who prefer value-added.
How is cotton priced?
Based on the New York Cotton Futures contract plus or minus the Pakistan Cotton Basis. We quote weekly during ginning season and on a programmed basis thereafter.
What's the MOQ?
1 × 40'HC container (≈ 80 bales / 13.6 MT) for lint. Yarn MOQ varies by count.
