World consumption for marketing year 2000/01 is forecast at 92.27 million bales up 1.43 million (1.6 percent) from the 1999/2000 marketing year estimate of 90.84 million bales. Increased consumption is forecast for nine of the top-ten consuming countries, except China.

Russia consumption is forecast at the highest level in seven years, while consumption in Indonesia is forecast to return to the record level seen in 1998/99. Consumption in the United States and the European Union, while not at record levels, are forecast up. China is the only top-ten consuming country not expected to see an increase in consumption, but it is expected to remain flat at its current record level.
