Yes, that too, but IMO the US sanctions had the biggest impact.
@earth_imperator is a commie propagandist who are doing a smear campaign on US and "the West" while promoting commie agenda. They exaggerate things and make up shit just to achieve their purpose. ET is littered with them for some very strange reason.

Xinjiang is not China!! *runs for cover* Don't know why US would import tomatoes and cotton from Xinjiang when US is a major tomato producer itself. People grow tomatoes in their backyard. LOL US also produces cotton itself as well and is actually the third largest cotton producer in the world. https://www.atlasbig.com/en-ca/countries-by-cotton-production According to this, India is now the largest cotton producer in the world. So with US' sanction on China over cotton, it's most likely importing cotton from India IF it's importing cotton because of cheaper prices since India is a larger producer.
But either way, the sanctions shouldn't have any impact on the cotton price. This is largely exaggerated. And I am only aware of sanctions on cotton from Xinjiang due to China's human rights abuse in Xinjiang but I have never been aware of any sanctions on tomatoes. Tomato is not even a major produce. It would be a waste of time for US to sanction tomatoes.
