Prices19 Mar 2018According to provisional figures provided by India’s Office of Textile Commissioner, cloth production in India increased 3.2% in 2017 thanks to a boost in cloth production among Power Looms. Mills, Hosiers and Hand Looms all had an annual drop in cloth production in 2017, and therefore held back growth. When it comes to Indian cotton, 68% of expected cotton supply has arrived in the Indian market so far, with the bulk of it coming from the Central Zone. 6.15bn kg is expected to be produced this 2017/18 market year (starting from October) up 7.3% relative to 5.73bn kg produced in the previous market year. According to figures provided by the United States Department of Agriculture, projected cotton supply in the US for this 2017/18 market year (starting from August) was revised downwards due to a downward revision in domestic production. Projected cotton demand, however, was revised upwards due to strong demand for US cotton coming from the external market.
