Due to weak demand, pressure on cotton prices in the global market

Due to weak demand, pressure on cotton prices in the global marketThe slowdown in the economy coupled with the fall in demand is putting pressure on cotton prices in the global market. The demand for yarn from spinning mills is negligible in the market. Due to this they are losing Rs 30 to 40 per kg in the sale of yarn. Prabhu Dhamodharan, convener of the Indian Texpreneurs Federation, said high levels of inventories along with global retail sales in a sluggish demand environment have slowed down the pace of garment manufacturing.The US FSCRIR agency believes that global cotton prices are peaking. The risk is high and the economy is slow, so demand has started weakening. Whereas the situation is expected to improve in the next season due to good harvest and better weather.The second-month futures market at ICE New York rose from 111 US cents a pound at the start of the year to 5 cents on May 4. The figure of May 4 is the highest since 2011 when the prices reached 203. Currently cent prices are around 125 cents. According to Fitch Solutions, weakness is expected in the coming months due to the crop season beginning in August in India, US, China, Pakistan and Brazil. Cotton futures on ICE for delivery in July are currently at 143.45 cents 87,700 per candy, while cotton is available at 134.14 cents, or 82,000.

In contrast, the benchmark Indian Shankar 6 cotton price for export is around 95 thousand. On the Multi-Commodity Exchange, the July contract price is 46330 per bale of 170 kg. According to the traders, neither the buyer nor the seller is present at these prices. Generally Chinese cotton prices are higher than Indian rates. But at present the situation is opposite. We expect demand to ease in the coming 3 to 4 months and this will bring down prices.The good news is that the prices of cotton have increased the confidence of the farmers, as a result of which the area under cultivation has increased this time. This is expected to bring down cotton prices to normal levels in the coming season.Last year, the cotton crop in India was severely damaged due to unseasonal rains between October-November. The Cotton Association of India has reduced its arrival figures from 360.13 lakh bales in October to 315.32 lakh bales due to rains.Cotton prices hit an 11-year high this year, but trade in the garment industry has suffered due to a surge in energy prices due to the Russo-Ukraine war.

Effect of increase in raw material prices, 10 percent reduction in India's apparel exports

Effect of increase in raw material prices, 10 percent reduction in India's apparel exportsThe rise in cotton and yarn prices in the current financial year has had an impact on textile and apparel exports from India. Textile and apparel exports have come down by 10 per cent over the previous year due to rising raw material prices. It is to be known that in the year 2021-22, there was a growth of 41 percent in the textile and apparel export trade from India.Looking at the recent report by Wazir Textiles, last year where all the top companies like Welspun, Vardhman, Arvind, Tident, KPR Mills, Indo Count, RSWM, Filatex, Nahar SPG and Indorama saw growth in sales. Whereas in the first two months of the current financial year, there has been a decline in sales.A major reason for the increase in exports in the year 2021-22 is the lack of demand in the US and Europe, the adoption of China plus one policy adopted by various countries. Last year, the pandemic did not even affect factories and unlisted companies also performed well. AEPC Chairman Narendra Goenka said that raw material prices are very high this year. This is the reason why there has been a steady decline in demand.Looking at the last year sales of major textile companies, Welspun saw a growth of 13 percent, Arvind 65 percent, Vardhman 60 percent and Trident 54 percent in the year 2021-22 as compared to the year 2020-21. The largest contributor to this increase was given by the United States. Which contributed to 27 percent of India's textile and apparel exports. This was followed by the European Union contributing 18 percent, Bangladesh 12 percent and the UAE 6 percent.With the rise in raw material prices this year, the possibility of a crisis in the near future is clear. According to experts, only those who have stock of cotton or yarn in old rates will be able to earn profit in the present time. The AEPCS has blamed the Ukraine crisis for this decline in export demand. According to him, demand in the US and Europe has slowed this year due to the Ukraine crisis as energy prices have risen.

Confusing statistics of cotton sowing

Confusing statistics of cotton sowingMinistry of Agriculture and Farms Welfare released All India Cotton Sowing ReportThere are confusions in the world of cotton that it is not taking the name of ending. Industry people were already worried about the rising prices of cotton. After that, the association increased the confusion many times by continuously altering the figures of Cotton Aravil. Now, just as the situation was beginning to become clear, the recently released Cotton Sowing Report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farms Welfare has again brought a twist in the story. Yes, according to this report, so far this season cotton sleeping is 5.96 percent less than last year. Whereas in almost all cotton sleeping states, the sleeping area is being said to increase this year. So once again the situation is in contradiction.In fact, according to this report, till June 17, 2022, the total cotton seeding in India has been 19.57 lakh hectares. Whereas till the same time last year, cotton was sown in 20.265 lakh hectares. Sowing less of 1.208 lakh hectares has been recorded in a year. If we look at this report by Zone Vice, then the scenario of South Zone is positive. So far, sleeping has been done in 2.098 lakh hectare, which is 152.16 percent more than last year. In the South Zone, there has been a tremendous increase in the sleeping area in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. But the overall India report is negative.There is a decrease in the sleeping area in both the North Zone and Central Zone as compared to last year. In the North Zone, this year the total sleeping has been done in 13.458 lakh hectares, whereas last year the figure of sleeping here was 13.942. In the Central Zone too, the sleeping area has decreased by 37.51 so far this year. The reduction in sleeping figures is astonishing, as everyone was expecting the sleeping area to increase. According to experts, the increase in sleeping area is certain, at present, the figures of decrease are because most of the states have not received rain, due to which farmers have not even done sleeping.
