National Bureau of statistics data show that China's textile enterprises above Designated Size cotton yarn production about 23000000 tons, output value of about 600000000000 yuan.

It is understood that cotton futures since June 1, 2004 in Zhengshang listed transactions, a total of more than 4000 cotton companies involved in the use of futures market to avoid price fluctuations, and achieved good results. Many people in the industry who participated in the discussion believe that cotton yarn and cotton The participants in the spot market have a large overlap. Enterprises participating in cotton futures trading will be able to "get started" more easily after the introduction of cotton yarn futures. At the same time, cotton yarn and cotton prices have strong linkage. The arbitrage transaction between the two should also be one of the factors to be considered in the design of Zheng's contract system.
