Cotton: World Markets and Trade (January 2001)

China Production Increase In Line with Growth in Consumption

This month's USDA 2000/01 production estimate for China shows a 2- million bale increase from the previous estimate and a 14-percent increase from 1999/00. The increase reflects a preliminary estimate by the China National Statistics Bureau (NBS), the official government agency for estimating crop production. Despite the increase in production, China's consumption is expected to exceed production by 3.0 million bales. However, abundant stocks will limit imports in the short term, but the consumption/production gap will continue to tighten stocks and lead to increased imports.
