“…In [8,9], using electron microscopy studies, the influence of temperature and drying time on changes in the surface of a fiber was studied. It was established that drying at a temperature for minutes does not cause changes in the surface of the fiber, while, surface roughness is observed and a kind of transverse substructure and dents appear.…”

This article provides an analysis of the study of a regulated technological process for preparing raw cotton and its components for storage. The regulation of the measures taken to preserve the quality of cotton products is given. The results of theoretical studies of heat-mass exchange issues are presented with the aim of analyzing the possibility of intensifying the uniformity of heating and drying of raw cotton. Based on the analysis and research, new methods of drying raw cotton and its components using high-frequency waves, which are new innovative technologies, are proposed

“…Through suction ducts, the cotton proceeds to the gin, which mechanically separates the fiber from the seed, turning it into ginned cotton (Figure 8 The fiber (plume) in its final stage goes to the pressing operation (Figure 9-a), where it is compacted into bales with an average weight of 200 kg (b) in a time of 1min20sec to 1min30sec, and stored in sheds (c). Before packing the pressed bale, two fiber samples are taken, one being taken for visual classification (C.V. -right label, Figure 9-b), where a quality code will be assigned (Boykin & Reddy, 2010), as a first step in the product value scaling (Barker, Baker, & Laird, 1990), and the other will follow for laboratory analysis in a laboratory outsourced by the Cooperative.…”

“…Currently, cotton harvesting is mostly mechanical, performed with self-propelled harvesters. The fiber, which has its quality (Boykin & Reddy, 2010) determined by its color (Barker, Baker, & Laird, 1990), is the main raw material of the textile industry. The economic value of cotton is directly related to the harvest process, taking into account factors such as the contamination of cotton with other fragments of the plant and other impurities, excess moisture that can cause fermentation, early fibers, strength, length and color of the fiber.…”

The study aims to study the operations of the cotton chain at Agro-industrial Cooperative Holambra II, especially the operations of planting, harvesting, processing and storage and destination of byproducts. Of a basic nature, with a qualitative focus and exploratory descriptive objectives, the Case Study approach was used, supported by bibliographic research. Semi-structured interviews, documentary research and structured observation were the tools used in data collection. The Cooperative implemented changes in its organizational and compliance structure, seeking to increase its efficiency in decision-making, in addition to expanding its competitive advantages with better market positioning. The 2020/21 crop showed a sharp reduction in planted area, in view of the uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to competition from other products, with a consequent drop in production, and productivity above the average of the last five harvests. The Cooperative's strategy for anticipating the harvest period provides conditions for making the product available on the market in advance, with the possibility of obtaining higher prices. In the 2019/20 harvest, the production of plume at the Cooperative was equivalent to more than 70% of the state production. The study contributes to the expansion of the study of agricultural cooperatives in the field of management, focusing on the production of cotton, which produces the most important of textile fibers.Probably, the COVID-19 pandemic will cause a significant contraction in world trade in 2020. Preliminary indicators already point to sharp falls in the first and part of the second half of 2020. For the first time since the 2008-2009 crisis, the volume of world trade in goods has plummeted in the first half of 2020, under pressure from rising trade tensions, especially between the United States and China, and weakening economic growth, particularly due to COVID-19.Andressa Vieira da Cruz et al.

This study focuses on least-cost farm-to-mill cotton cleaning configurations employing survey, regression, and simulation techniques. The resulting least-cost cotton cleaning configurations, employing standard textile technology, included the use of one lint cleaning in the ginning stage. The use of a field cleaner in the harvesting stage was also found to be optimal with some variation based on the desired yarn quality. Results of the study indicated that the optimal cleaning configurations were distinctly different from currently used practices, such that appropriate changes could save the cotton industry between $0.30 and $0.60 per bale of cotton, depending on the desired yarn quality.
