World Cotton

World cotton production is expected to rise nearly 5 percent from the year before in 2021/22, to119.5 million bales. This level would be below recent peaks in 2017 and 2019, but above the
average production of the previous 5 years. Global harvested area is expected to rise about 3
percent from the year before, led by increases in the United States and West Africa, but area is
expected to decline slightly in the largest producing countries, India and China.

China’s 2020/21 crop is estimated at 29.0 million bales, up nearly 2 million bales from the
previous year and the highest level in 6 years. This is despite lower area harvested, which is
estimated at 3.25 million hectares and down more than 5 percent from the previous year. Yield is estimated at a record 1,943 kg/hectare, up 13 percent from last year.
India’s 2020/21 production is estimated at 29 million bales, down roughly 2 percent from the
preceding year on both slightly lower area harvested and yield.
