Experts believe that the news of India's ban on exports is most beneficial to US cotton.

Among them, the US cotton export contract volume has exceeded its estimate, when the new cotton sowing, there is little left in the market cotton.

If India's cotton is forbidden to export, it will create a tight market supply in the short term.

Demand for imported cotton is strong.

Judging from the domestic market, China is the main importer of cotton in India. Since the year of 2011/12, more than 2 million tons of cotton have been imported into China, nearly half of which come from India.

It is worth noting that domestic textile enterprises have relatively strong demand for relatively cheap India cotton.

Xu Zhou, a futures analyst in East Asia, said that because of the domestic cotton temporary purchase and storage policy this year, domestic cotton prices were supported by the reserve price and maintained at 20 thousand yuan / ton, which was higher than the import price.

At present, domestic cotton storage and storage has accumulated about 2700000 tons, accounting for nearly 40% of domestic output. When the peak season of downstream consumption is coming, there is a demand for replenishment in the market, especially for cheap imported cotton. Therefore, in the short term, domestic cotton may have a tight supply situation.

Shanghai's mid-term analyst sees the introduction of thunder, saying that China imports nearly 3 million 700 thousand tons of cotton annually, and imports 800 thousand tons from India this year, the rest from the US, Uzbekistan, Australia and so on.

This year, cotton prices in India are much lower than domestic cotton prices, so they are very popular with traders and textile enterprises.

Under the pressure of India cotton, the prices of cotton and cotton in the early stage remain weak and the market is not good.

India's textile industry faces challenges

Why did India issue the cotton export ban at this time? For this, Chen Dong, an analyst at Baocheng futures, said that this is mainly the India government's interest in protecting the textile enterprises in the country.

With the appreciation of the India rupee against the US dollar and the rise in the prices of producer goods, India textiles also encounter difficulties in the global market, and the survival environment of textile enterprises is facing challenges.

In order to safeguard the interests of the industry, the India Textile Association has proposed to the government that because of the low price of cotton in India, it has been pported to the international market in large quantities, including textile competitors such as China and Pakistan. In this way, they are actually using their resources to expand their competitors, which is unfavorable to the development of textile enterprises in India.

Therefore, the India textile association suggested that the government ban cotton exports, or at least raise the zero tariff on cotton exports to 4% to 5%.

Such a country can not only increase taxes, but also protect India's textile competitiveness to a certain extent.
