At the same time, when the initial inventory ratio decreased significantly, the US cotton production was predicted to be 18 million packages and the total supply would be reduced.

Domestic demand is expected to be 3 million 800 thousand packs.

The reduction in supply and the increase in foreign production have led to a reduction in US cotton exports.

The year-end inventory is expected to be 2 million 500 thousand packs, an annual growth rate of 43%, but it is still the lowest level since 1990/1991.

The average price of cotton is forecast to be 95 to 115 cents / pound.

Global 2011/2012 supply and demand data forecast for the first time showed that production increased to a record 124 million 700 thousand packages, of which India, China and Pakistan accounted for 70% of the total output.

The global year-end inventory has increased by nearly 1 million bales.
