Senegal: Cotton and Products Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SG2024-0008
MY2024/25 cotton area harvested for Mali, Senegal, and Burkina Faso is forecast at a combined 1.2 million HA, a one percent increase from the previous MY. A late start of the rainy season delayed planting in all three countries, and insecurity in Burkina Faso continues to prevent planting in many areas. MY2024/25 combined cotton production is forecast flat at 2.1 million bales. MY2024/25 exports and stocks are forecast at 2.1 million bales and 220,000 bales while consumption is expected to increase four percent at 52,000 bales. All three countries are reopening their textile industries, though Senegal lags behind Mali and Burkina Faso and is not expected to utilize any domestic cotton in textile production this year.
