Prices23 Oct 2017Both yarn and cloth production in China were still up in 2017 up to August, relative to the same period the year before. Accumulated yarn production increased 4.3% year-on-year, while year-to-date (YTD) cloth production increased at a slightly slower pace (4.2% year-on-year). Latest figures provided by the USDA show that Brazil’s expected 2017/18 cotton production and trade surplus were revised upwards in October, relative to expectations made in September. Upward revision in production surplus increased due to an upward revision in domestic production of cotton, as harvest area and expected yields were higher than previously expected. Cotton trade surplus widened as both exports and imports were revised upwards, due to the upward revision in exports being the larger. The upward revision in imports was steeper, but from a relatively lower base compared to exports. In India, expectation in cotton production and domestic demand remained stable, relative to expectations made in September. However, cotton imports and initial reserves were revised upwards in October, allowing expected supply to increase 0.9% relative to expectations made in September. Cotton demand was also revised upwards this market year, due to an upward revision in exports. Expected trade surplus for the 2017/18 market year increased, relative to the previous month.
