  • What is cottonseed oil?
  • Cottonseed oil is the valuable byproduct extracted after seed cotton processing for lint. It confers a huge contribution to total vegetable oil production and ranked the 2nd to meet global edible oil requirements. Over centuries, breeders mainly focused to improve lint production and fiber quality.
  • What is the global cottonseed production in 2019/2020?
  • The global cottonseed production in 2019/2020 is estimated to be ~44.84 metric million tons (MMT) (Statista, 2020 accessed on July 25, 2020). Cottonseeds contain 17–22% oil, and after oil extraction, cottonseed meal (CSM) is obtained as a coproduct (Hernandez, 2016, pp. 242–246) (Fig. 2).
  • Which countries produce cottonseed oil?
  • Five major producers of cottonseed oil are China, the United States, India, the former Soviet Union, and Pakistan with 27, 12, 11, 10, and 9% production respectively that contribute 70% of global vegetable oil production (Song and Zhang 2007).
  • What is cottonseed meal (CSM)?
  • Cottonseeds contain 17–22% oil, and after oil extraction, cottonseed meal (CSM) is obtained as a coproduct (Hernandez, 2016, pp. 242–246) (Fig. 2). CSM has the potential to produce ~10 MMT proteins, which could fulfil the annual protein requirements of more than half a billion people globally (Wedegaertner & Rathore, 2015).
