China: Cotton and Products Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In marketing year (MY) 20/21 (August-July), China’s cotton consumption and cotton imports are projected to recover to 8.1 million metric tons (MMT) and 2 MMT respectively, following the COVID19 related decline in cotton use and imports in MY19/20. This decline was the result of market disruptions and reduced consumer demand for textiles and apparel. Forecast U.S. cotton exports to China are expected to increase in MY20/21 mainly driven by China’s recovering spinning demand and implementation of the U.S.-China Phase One Trade Agreement. Based on forecast higher yield offsetting acreage decline, China’s MY20/21 cotton production is 5.9 MMT, unchanged from MY19/20.
