China imported 84,000 metric tons (tonnes) of cotton in November, down 8.3 percent from the same period of last year, the China Cotton Association said on its website Tuesday citing customs data.
However, the imports jumped 100.6 percent from the previous month thanks to a decline of import prices. Last month, the average import price of cotton dipped 2.2 percent from a month earlier to reach 1,653 US dollars/tonne. In the first 11 months of this year, the country's cotton imports sank 40.9 percent year on year to 1.29 million tonnes.
