Comparison

It slipped by 0.80 yuan / Jin, or 44%.

It is estimated that the price of cottonseed will drop by 0.10 yuan per catty under the price of lint cotton, and the price of seed cotton will be reduced by 0.06 yuan per catty, that is to say, the price of cotton seed will drop by 0.50 yuan / kg as compared with the previous year because of the decline in cottonseed prices.
