Summary

The "World Cotton - Trends in Demand and Supply" is the Fourth compendium from YarnsandFibers presenting the demand and supply trends in manmade fiber industry. Time series on trends from 1990 to 2007 on production, imports, exports and apparent consumption is presented country-wise for 13 countries including all major Asian countries, USA and West Europe.

In this Report we have assesses the impact of the expiry of the MFA and ATC and the scenario post-WTO in global manmade fibre/filament industry and natural fibres, particularly cotton, and how each country prepared and positioned itself in the global market. The analysis assesses the positions of fi-bres/filaments industry and their producers and consumers as events unfolded. Like in case of MFA, the period under consideration is pre-1995, for ATC it is 1995 to 2004 and post-WTO it is 2005 to 2007.

The purpose of this compendium is to serve as a basic information infrastructure for textile companies and to all those who are related to fibres and yarns industry. The compendium will also serve as a ready to use reference and the presentation help easy and quick consumption of the information.

The Report is divided into two sections: Global View and Region/Country wise View.

In 2007, cotton production dropped 1.2% to 26.27 million tons. The drop was caused by the 4% decline in area sowing, largely in the USA. Rising prices of competing crops had lead to the reductions in cotton area in the United States, Brazil, Turkey, Egypt and some other countries. However, partial offsetting increases in area had occurred in India, West Africa and other regions, leaving the world total about just below last year.

During the year, India has taken over USA as the second largest producer of cotton after China. However, USA continues to remain as the top exporter of cotton fibre.

While cotton is produced in about 50 countries, only six countries account for almost 85% of global supplies. They are China, India, USA, Pakistan, Brazil and Uzbekistan. During 2007, they together pro-duced 22.36 million tons of cotton.
India is playing an ever-important role in the world's cotton market. It has seen its' cotton sector un-dergo critical changes in recent years with the introduction of biotechnologies and the subsequent in-crease in production to the despair of small-scale cotton farmers.
