< p > India: the listing of new cotton has dropped further year by year.

Although the picking time of new cotton in India is later than that of previous years, the gap between the total amount of new cotton and the same period of last year is narrowing.

Data show that as of February 10th this year, India's new cotton has been on the market for 3 million 118 thousand tons, down 3.1% from the same period last year, of which the volume of listing in the north and the south is higher than that in last year, but the central region has dropped significantly.

At present, the India a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > cotton < /a > Association (CAI) has increased 8500 tons of cotton production in India this year, up to 6 million 14 thousand tons, which is about 340 thousand tons more than the latest forecast of USDA. Nevertheless, the prediction of CAI also decreased by 5.2% over the same period last year.

From the chart below, we can see that the difference between India's new cotton market and the same period last year has narrowed from the original 30% to the current 3%.

< p > January, Brazil cotton export increased significantly, USDA forecast target was low. As of January this year, Brazil cotton cumulative export volume was 762 thousand tons, an increase of 2.9% over the same period last year.

It is worth mentioning that China is still the largest export market for Brazil cotton, and is expected to continue to play a leading role in the future. Besides, Indonesia, Korea and Vietnam also have an upward trend in the purchase of Brazil cotton.

As the four countries are also the main export destinations of the US cotton, there is reason to believe that the market competition between the US cotton and Brazil cotton will become more intense in the future.

According to the current export progress of Brazil cotton, the export target of USDA is not a problem.

In fact, in the latest global cotton production and inventory forecast released in February, USDA will raise Brazil cotton export volume by 44 thousand tons to 1 million 2 thousand tons this year. Even so, the actual export volume of Brazil cotton may also exceed that forecast.

< p > for the market after the Spring Festival, in the short term, the a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_s.asp" > cotton price < /a > still has the possibility of hitting the new high, thus creating the opportunity for the cotton enterprises to sell high value.

In recent years, after the Spring Festival, cotton prices are generally high.

Short term domestic demand pays close attention to the 1305 and 1309 contracts. When the cotton price exceeds 20400 yuan / ton, the layout is empty, so that the enterprise can earn an excess profit which is higher than the national reserve price.
