Global cotton output, use & trade raised in 2025-26; stocks cut: WASDEThe world cotton outlook for 2025–26 has been revised to reflect expectations for higher production, consumption, and trade, along with lower beginning and ending stocks, according to the September 2025 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report released by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).Global cotton production is projected to exceed the previous estimate by over 1 million bales, as increases for China, India, and Australia more than offset declines in Turkiye, Mexico, and several West African nations. Total global production is now forecast at 117.68 million bales of 480 pounds (217.7 kg) each.The report indicates that world consumption has been raised by nearly 850,000 bales, driven mainly by increases in China and Vietnam, partially offset by a reduction in Turkiye and minor changes in several other countries. Global consumption is now pegged at 118.83 million bales, up from 117.99 million bales in the previous report.World trade is projected to rise by just over 100,000 bales, with increases for India and Australia partly offset by declines in several West African nations. Global exports are now expected at 43.70 million bales, compared to 43.59 million bales earlier.Beginning stocks for 2025–26 have been reduced by nearly 1 million bales to 74.06 million bales, down from 75.05 million last month, largely reflecting higher 2024–25 consumption in China. Consequently, ending stocks for 2025–26 have been lowered by almost 800,000 bales to 73.14 million bales, the lowest level in four years, compared to 73.91 million bales previously.For the US, the September outlook shows slightly higher production compared to last month, with no changes to exports, consumption, imports, or ending stocks. The US crop is projected 10,000 bales higher at 13.2 million bales, supported by unchanged to slightly higher planted and harvested areas across all regions. However, the national average yield has been lowered by 1 pound to 861 pounds per harvested acre.With no revisions to consumption, exports, or ending stocks, the stocks-to-use ratio remains unchanged at just over 26 per cent. The projected season-average upland cotton price for 2025–26 is steady at 64 cents per pound.read more :- CM will connect Madhya Pradesh cotton farmers with the global market
Cotton farmers of Madhya Pradesh will have access to global markets: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan YadavChief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that Madhya Pradesh is one of the leading states in organic cotton production in India. The state contributes about 40% of the country's total organic cotton production. With the foundation stone of the first PM Mitra Park to be laid by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh is set to become the cotton capital of India.Cotton farmers will now have direct access to international markets. The PM Mitra Park will prove to be a milestone in giving global recognition to the hard work of farmers. Dr. Yadav described it as the foundation of the state's industrial future and a gateway to new opportunities for farmers. Thanks to the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Modi, farmers' produce will now reach global markets directly from the fields and the cotton producing region of Madhya Pradesh will play an important role in this change.According to Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, PM Mitra Park is an industrial project that will transform the lives of farmers, workers, women and youth. Cotton producers will now be directly connected to cotton-based industries, making cotton more than just a crop and becoming the industrial identity of Madhya Pradesh.Madhya Pradesh is one of the top cotton-producing states in the country. The Malwa region—which includes Indore, Dhar, Jhabua, Alirajpur, Khargone, Barwani, Khandwa and Burhanpur—produces the highest amount of cotton. Madhya Pradesh has already gained fame for organic cotton production, making it an extremely suitable state for the textile industry. This is why Dhar was chosen for the PM Mitra Park.PM Mitra Park will have world-class facilitiesSpread over about 2,158 acres, the park is being developed with world-class infrastructure, including: a 20 MLD common effluent treatment plant, a 10 MVA solar power plant, assured supply of water and electricity, modern roads and 81 plug-and-play units.Amenities such as housing for workers and women employees and social infrastructure will make it not only an industrial area but also an ideal industrial township.Investors show interestInvestors have shown deep faith in PM Mitra Park and investment proposals worth a total of ₹27,109 crore have been received so far. This will lead to setting up of industries and create new employment opportunities for the local people. Leading textile organizations and industry groups have shown interest in investing here. This will benefit the state industrially and boost exports.The textiles and apparels produced in Dhar will soon reach the global markets directly. Madhya Pradesh is fast emerging as a textile hub.Theme of the park in line with Prime Minister Modi's visionIn line with the vision of Prime Minister Modi, this park will establish a complete value chain: "From farm to fiber, from factory to fashion and from fashion to overseas."The raw cotton obtained from the farmers will be converted into yarn, then textiles and apparels and finally exported. The entire value chain will be consolidated at one place, making this park unique and a model for others.Employment and economic growthThe PM Mitra Park is expected to generate around 3 lakh jobs, including 1 lakh direct and 2 lakh indirect jobs. The expansion of cotton-based industries will allow farmers to get double the value of their crops. This opportunity will not only create jobs but also boost economic activity in rural areas, boosting everything from local markets to exports.read more :- Rupee opened 01 paisa stronger at 88.26

US tariffs to reduce domestic textile industry revenues by 5-10%: Crisil RatingsAccording to a report by Crisil Ratings, the 50 per cent US tariff is likely to result in a 5-10 per cent decline in revenues of domestic textile manufacturers, along with a reduction in operating profitability.The US has imposed a 50 per cent tariff on imports of Indian goods from August 27, including a 25 per cent penalty on buying Russian crude oil. Although US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have assured that trade talks are on, no agreement has been reached yet.The domestic textile industry saw a 2-3 per cent growth in exports to the US in the first quarter of the current financial year (Q1 FY26). However, before the imposition of higher tariffs, exports had picked up due to advance loading of some orders.Major share of revenue from exportsExports contribute to at least three-fourths of the domestic textile industry's revenue. The total market size of the industry is estimated to be ₹81,000 crore in FY25E, up from ₹75,000 crore in FY24. Of this, exports to the US stood at ₹26,000 crore (estimated) in FY25E, up from ₹25,000 crore in the same period last year.The impact of tariffs on the industry is likely to be more pronounced as exports to the US exceed exports to other countries. Exports to other countries stood at ₹23,000 crore in FY25E, up from ₹20,000 crore in FY24.. Crisil analysed 40 home textile companies that account for 40-45 per cent of industry revenues.Maintaining competitive edgeAccording to the report, these three factors could cushion the blow:Sales growth during April-August 2025Diversification into alternative geographiesLimited capacities from competing countries such as China, Pakistan and TurkeyAdditionally, a debt-free balance sheet would partially offset the impact on the credit profile, the report said.Manish Gupta, deputy chief rating officer, Crisil Ratings, said, "With limited capacity to manufacture cotton-based home textile products in competing countries, India should be able to maintain its competitive position in the US market in the near future. This should limit the decline in overall industry revenue to 5-10 per cent in FY26."UK, EU emerge as alternative marketsGrowing trade with the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) will help manufacturers offset lower purchases in the US, the report said. These geographies contributed nearly 13 per cent of India's domestic textile exports in FY25.India recently signed its free trade agreement with the UK and is in the final stages of negotiations with the EU.Goutam Shahi, director, Crisil Ratings, said, "It will take time to ramp up revenues from alternate export destinations. Meanwhile, operating profitability on exports to the US may decline sharply in the remainder of this fiscal year, as Indian exporters absorb some part of the higher duties and some expected slowdown in demand from the US due to inflation."read more :- Textile-apparel sector dependent on domestic consumption: SIMA

Cotton rot in Jalgaon... signs of 30 to 40 percent reduction in production !Jalgaon - The continuous rain in the district for the last few days has now stopped. However, farmers are worried as the outbreak of cotton rot has increased after the rain. Agricultural experts have predicted a 30 to 40 percent reduction in cotton production due to rot.Due to farmers reducing their cultivation in Jalgaon district, the cotton acreage has decreased by about 21 percent in the Kharif season this year. It is seen that cotton, which is currently in the kernel ripening stage, has spread rot widely after the rains stopped. Green leaves have also started turning red suddenly, seeing this, farmers have also taken measures. According to experts at the Cotton Research Center in Jalgaon, rot in cotton crops is not a disease but a type of abnormality. This abnormality is seen in large numbers in the American hybrid BT variety. Water stress, excessive water retention in the soil, i.e. lack of moisture in the soil, temperature changes, infestation of sucking pests and imbalance of nutrients like nitrogen and magnesium are the main causes of red spot on cotton crop.What are the remedies for red spot?To prevent red spot on cotton, integrated nutrient management should be adopted from the beginning of the crop. Organic manure, farmyard manure, compost manure, vermicompost should be used before planting. Also, seed treatment should be done with Azotobacter and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria. Chemical fertilizers and micronutrients should be used as recommended. While using chemical fertilizers, they should be given at the right time, in the right way and in the right quantity. If rainwater is seen accumulating in cotton, it is necessary to drain out the water immediately. If water availability is less, then arrangements should be made to rain one after the other. If there is moisture, light tilling should be done. It is also necessary to apply manure to the crop. If the last installment of nitrogen has not been given, then 40 to 50 kg of urea should be given per acre. Magnesium sulphate should be used at 20 to 30 kg per hectare. Also, two percent DAP or soluble fertilizers should be sprayed. Cotton Research Center, Jalgaon has advised that after the first spraying, two to three sprayings should be done at an interval of 10-15 days.If the cotton crop is affected by red blight disease, then the yield may decrease by 30 to 40 percent. Therefore, farmers should take preventive measures in time. -Dr. Girish Chaudhary (Producer- Cotton Research Center, Jalgaon)read more :- India's GDP is estimated to grow by 6.6% in 2026
India's GDP to grow at 6.6% in FY26 despite tariff pressures: ReportNomura in its recent report said that India's GDP growth rate in FY26 is projected to be 6.6 percent year-on-year, incorporating policy changes. This is under the assumption that the 25 percent reciprocal tariff will remain in place until FY26, and the 25 percent Russian penalty will be applicable only till November. On the other hand, if both sides stick to their word, resulting in the continuation of the 50 percent tariff rate, then the impact on GDP growth is expected to be 0.8 percentage points (pps) on an annual rate basis.The current account deficit (CAD) could also narrow to around 1.1 percent of GDP. In its report 'India-US trade rift: Outlook, spillovers and strategic shifts', Nomura said job losses in export-oriented sectors could have a significant impact on investment and consumption, and there could be risks of further escalation through tariffs or non-tariff barriers.The report said US-India trade talks have stalled after President Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs. The deadlock still persists in the agriculture and dairy sector, as India pushes for a comprehensive agreement while the US favours a quick resolution. Domestically, Prime Minister Modi has taken a tough stand on protecting farmers, receiving rare support from opposition parties and businesses, and there is a growing emphasis on self-reliance.With the new tariff structure, the cost gap between India and China has narrowed, and between India and Southeast Asian competitors, it has shifted in China's favour. This could have a number of implications on the nature of new supply chains, such as negative impact on textiles, leather and toys, and Indian companies could potentially shift their production to countries with lower tariffs to retain their US customer base. However, the report further states that this will only impede global value chain integration for India, not completely derail it.Nomura expects a multi-pronged government response to support exporters and stabilise the economy. These measures are expected to include fiscal and financial support, export diversification and accelerating free trade agreements (FTAs). Structural reforms are also likely to accelerate, with rationalisation of the goods and services tax (GST) already announced. This is likely to be followed by further liberalisation of FDI, deregulation, factor market reforms, privatisation and administrative streamlining.read more :- Rupee opens 03 paise down at 88.13
