Mexico: Cotton and Products Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Mexico cotton production for marketing year (MY) 2020/21 is forecast 36 percent lower than the previous MY, based on limited access to inputs for production and reduced government support. Additionally, low global textile and apparel demand due to economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding low prices, resulted in some producers planting other crops. Drought conditions in northern Mexico have been reported since the end of May, and has delayed harvest through December. While no effects to final production are expected, there are concerns about fiber quality. The textile industry is slowly recovering after the partial reopening -with a multitude of sanitary measures- of spinning mills and textile factories in July, and cotton imports from the United States are expected to increase gradually over the coming months, although full recovery is not expected until at least early 2022.
