Cost of woven fabric is the main concern of a garment merchandiser.Costing is a very complex procedure, with set patterns and guidelines followed by the industry, and it is difficult to find out costs for every process as there are some inbuilt costs while costing. Woven fabrics are used worldwide for many applications like apparel, home
furnishing, and accessories, industrial and medical textiles. It is estimated that the global production of woven fabrics will grow 35 million tones by 2010 and most
of this growth will be in Asia. It is also estimated that Asia will emerge as the biggest market for sourcing of fabrics for the garment and apparel industry. Costing of woven fabrics for garment manufacturers is one of the most important aspects of garment production. About 65 - 70% cost of the garment is the cost of the fabric and hence, it is very crucial to get the right cost of the fabric from fabric
manufacturers and suppliers.

T
he increase is predominantly
driven by the major cotton-
producing countries, with
the US and Pakistan leading
the charge. Both countries are
projected to see a significant rise in
production, each adding 2 million
bales to the global yield. India is
also expected to contribute to the
surge, albeit on a lesser scale, with
an additional half a million bales.
However, these gains will be
partially offset by a reduction in
output from China, the worldâs
leading cotton producer. The
Chinese crop is anticipated to
shrink by 3.7 million bales in the
2023-24 season due to cooler than
normal temperatures early in the
growing season in Chinaâs Xinjiang
region, which could limit yield
potential. This decrease means
Chinaâs contribution to global
cotton production is expected to
shrink from 26 per cent in 2022-23
to 23 per cent in 2023-24, as per
USDAâs Cotton and Wool Outlook:
June 2023 report.
Meanwhile, India is set to buck
this trend with a projected 2-per
cent increase in cotton production
from the 2022-23 crop. This
rise comes despite an expected
reduction in harvested area, with
alternative crops predicted to
reduce cotton acreage to 12.4
million hectares. A rebound in
yield is set to offset this, with the
national yield forecast at 448 kg
per hectare, the highest in three
years. Indiaâs share in global cotton
production is set to remain steady
at approximately 22 per cent.
Outside of the US, other
countries including Brazil,
Pakistan, and Australia are also
projected to see an increase in
cotton production. Brazilâs output
is expected to hit 13.25 million
bales, slightly above the 2022-23
figure and second only to 2019-
20âs record of nearly 13.8 million
bales.
Pakistanâs cotton production
is set to rebound from the nearly
four-decade low of 3.9 million
bales recorded in 2022-23 due
to flood damage. The forecast
production of 5.9 million bales for
2023-24 will account for 5 per cent
of global production.
Lastly, Australiaâs 2023-24
cotton production is projected at
5.8 million bales, 300,000 bales
above 2022-23 and close to 2021-
22âs record of 5.85 million bales,
supported by above-average
reservoir levels.

Global cotton production forecast to hit 4-year high
in FY24: USDA
World cotton production is projected to reach a four-year high of 116.7 million bales in 2023-24
(FY24), according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The expected growth in production
represents a slight increase of 400,000 bales from the previous year.

n a recent McKinsey report,
a group of experts from the
consulting firmâs Retail Practice
point out, Asian readymade
garment manufacturers need to be
strategic in the context of changing
scenarios in their importing
markets that were primarily driven
by the 2020-2021 lockdown, the
Ukrainian conflict and the ever-
rising environmental concerns
that the garment industry has been
facing for decades.
Post pandemic, most fashion
brands have changed their buying
strategy to make it more seamless
and foolproof, especially the ever-
important supply chain. Western
buyers now seem more interested
in their resources in Asia
undergoing digital transformation
and be analytics driven thus enable
themselves to provide smooth
interaction. So much so that in
the near future Western importers
might make digital transformation
a mandatory feature if the supplier
wants their business. The other
strategy gaining grounds is ânear-
shoringâ or having manufacturing
hubs closer to the consumer
market which lowers logistical
costs and saves on carbon miles.
The idea is suppliers invest in
creating hubs closer to their long-
term partnersâ markets.
Asian manufacturers face
serious issues
China, India, Bangladesh,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and
Sri Lanka are at the helm of global
exports of readymade garments.
However, with the US and EU
reducing orders steadfastly it has
created a crisis-like situation so
much so that in an all-time first for
the region, Vietnam and already
financially-crippled Sri Lanka shut
down factories or operated at a
bare minimum starting January
2023 until round April. Even
Bangladesh and India have run
units at 60 or 70 per cent capacities
and the challenged situation is
seeing profits spiral downwards.
The key challenges these
nationsfacearethatfashionbrands
are paying less to balance their
retail sales in an economic crisis-
hit west, which in turn is adding to
the cost pressure as Asian nations
too are paying more on operational
costs and raw material. The other
main challenge is the speed and
flexibility of suppliers, which
raises the point of near-shoring
for the benefit of a long-term
partnership, and flexibility so
supply chains can be rearranged
effortlessly if and when situations
Asiaâs garment manufacturing should focus on
strategic shift: McKinsey
An important recommen-
dation for the future will be
partnerships that large Asian
manufacturers invest in. As
the fashion sector becomes
increasingly polarized, it has
been observed that the top
20 brands are resilient and
steady since 2019 until now.
It may be worthwhile deciding
who suppliers envision as
long-term partners and
initiate their choices based on
honest appraisals of their own
capacities and capabilities.

arise. Digital transformation, an
element that is poorly represented
in Asian manufacturing hubs
has to be deployed immediately
and sustainability has to be
taken seriously to gain credibility
in conscious consumers. That
is a lot to take on and in this
situation McKinsey has some
insightful recommendations to the
beleaguered sector in Asia.
Five-deck strategy to meet
challenges
An important recommendation
for the future will be partnerships
that large Asian manufacturers
invest in. As the fashion sector
becomes increasingly polarized,
it has been observed that the top
20 brands are resilient and steady
since 2019 until now. It may be
worthwhile deciding who suppliers
envision as long-term partners
and initiate their choices based
on honest appraisals of their own
capacities and capabilities.
Future-proofing manufacturing
units by leveraging digital and
analytics to drive productivity
and provide strategic benefits to
partners that are categorized as
long-term ones â the value on offer
will play a key role in sustaining
such partnerships.
Recalibration of commercial
negotiations that are based on
customers, their product portfolios
and the economic situation of
their markets will help fortify
the relationship as credibility
and practicality of the business
engagement will enable its
continuity.
Structural overhauling is
the fourth part of the strategy
that requires alignment of the
commercial aspect of the business
with demand and specification-
based initiatives in external
spends. Done well, this can end
up with about ten per cent cost
benefit for manufacturers.
Lastly, diversification of
geographic customer portfolio
and investing in targeted markets
thereby onboarding near-shoring is
a key strategy. The manufacturers
that have already adopted the
âlocal for localâ are winning on
logistical costs already.

ndia has removed China from
a list of countries exempt from
azo dye tests for imported
textiles. These tests are crucial
as azo dyes, organically produced
synthetic dyes, are recognised as
potentially harmful to health.
This new non-tariff barrier,
enforced by Indiaâs Directorate
General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)
under the ministry of commerce
and industry, might cause
shipment delays and additional
costs for Indian importers.
As per a notification issued
by DGFT on Wednesday (Jun
14), the updated exemption list
now includes European Union
(EU) countries, Serbia, Poland,
Denmark, Australia, Canada,
Japan, South Korea, and the United
Kingdom. The textiles imported
from these countries arenât subject
to testing for the presence of azo
dyes. China was previously part of
this list.
Despite the potential setbacks
for Indian importers, industry
insiders see the move as a positive
health initiative. It is important to
note that India imports significant
quantities of yarn, fibre, fabric, and
garments from China.
In 2022, India imported fabric
worth $1,083.090 million, fibre
valued at $254.159 million, yarn
costing $1,359.584 million, and
apparel worth $350.238 million
from China, as per data obtained

T
he textile yarn market is
projected to reach USD 18.5
billion by 2028, growing at a
CAGR of 5.1% from 2023 to 2028,
according to a research report by
MarketsandMarkets.
One of the key drivers for the
increasing demand for textile
yarn is the expanding middle
class in emerging economies.
As more individuals enter the
middle-income bracket, there is a
higher demand for affordable and
fashionable clothing, leading to
increased consumption of textile
yarns.
Advancements in technology
have also played a significant role
in the growth of the market. These
advancements have enabled the
development of specialized yarns
with enhanced properties, such as
moisture-wicking, antimicrobial,
and eco-friendly characteristics.
These innovations have driven
the demand for technical textiles
in sectors like apparel, medical,
sports,automotive,andaerospace.
The plant segment is expected
to exhibit the highest CAGR during
the forecast period. This growth
is attributed to the increasing
demand for sustainable and eco-
friendly products. Plant-based
yarns, including cotton, hemp,
linen, and bamboo, are derived
from natural sources and are
considered more environmentally
friendly compared to synthetic
alternatives.
Consumersâ growing
environmental consciousness
has led to a shift towards
plant-based yarns due to their
biodegradability, renewability,
and lower carbon footprint.
In the artificial yarn category,
the polyester segment is expected
to dominate the market with the
largest share in 2023. Polyester
yarn offers exceptional durability,
strength, and resistance to
abrasion, wrinkles, and stretching,
making it suitable for a wide range
of textile products.
Additionally, polyester yarn
is cost-effective compared
to natural fibers, making it
an economical choice for
manufacturers and consumers,
especially in mass production
and budget-conscious markets.
Turkey is expected to hold
the largest market share in 2023.
The countryâs textile industry
is renowned for its expertise in
manufacturing and a diverse range
of textile products. With a skilled
workforce, advanced production
technologies, and modern
infrastructure, Turkey produces
high-quality textile yarns that
meet international standards. The
countryâs competitive advantage
lies in its cost-effectiveness,
offering lower labor and production
costs compared to many European
counterparts. This cost advantage
attractscustomersandcontributes
to the growth of Turkeyâs textile
yarn market.

otton price has moved
sideways since November
2022 as investors assess
the supply and demand dynamics.
It was trading at $88 on Monday,
where it has been in the past few
months. This price is a few points
above the year-to-date low of $76.
Cotton is an important
commodity that is used to
manufacture of clothes and
garments. Its demand has been
growing in the past few decades,
helped by the soaring world
population. Data shows that the
world has over 8 billion people, up
from over 6.1 billion in 2000.
Cotton prices surged hard
during the Covid-19 pandemic,
helped by the commodity
supercycle. It jumped from a
low of $48.08 in 2020 to a high
of $149.98 on May 2nd of 2022.
Since then, cotton has plunged by
more than 43% from its highest
point in 2022.
The biggest cotton producers
in the world are China, India, the
United States, Brazil, Pakistan, and
Australia among others. On the
other hand, China is the biggest
cotton producer in the world.
Other top cotton consumers are
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and
Vietnam among others.
The most recent WASDE
report showed that the US will
show higher production, helped by
favorable weather conditions in the
Southwest. Exports are expected
to grow by 500k bales to over
14 million bales. Globally, world
production will grow by 1 million
bales because of higher supplies in
US and lower production in China.

P
FY exports hit market
expectation again in May.
According to the latest data
from China customs, PFY exports
approached 362kt in May, 2023,
hitting yearly new high and up
by 7.8% m-o-m and 21.5% y-o-y
respectively.
PFY exports amounted to
1721kt in Jan-May, 2023, up by
31% over the same period of
last year. The exports of PFY
are optimistically estimated to
reach more than 4 million tons
throughout 2023, to increase by
above 20% on the year.
After many years of
development, PFY export pattern
has been dramatically changed.
Leadingcompanieskeptexpanding
abroad with the advantage of price
and quality, snatching the market
share of small-and-medium-sized
plants and traders. Taking May as
an example, some traders saw a
20-30% of year-on-year reduction
in terms of PFY exports, while
leading enterprisesâ PFY exports
advanced by more than 30% on the
year.
The increment in
May was almost all
contributed by the POY.
Exports of POY rose by
26kt over Apr and exports
to India increased by as
high as 25kt. Exports
of FDY were flat on the
month and those of DTY
slightly advanced over
April.
The daily chart shows that
cotton price has been moving
sideways in the past few months.
The price has remained between
the important support level at
$76.20 and the resistance point
at $88.62. As a result, the price is
hovering at the 25-day and 50-day
moving averages.
Most importantly, the Average
True Range (ATR) has dropped
to a low of 1.71, the lowest level
since September 2021. The ATR is
an important figure since it is the
most popular measure of volatility
in the market.
Therefore, cotton prices will
likely continue consolidating in the
coming days. A bullish breakout
will be confirmed if it moves above
the key resistance level at $88.62.
A move below the support at $80
will invalidate the bullish view.

raw materials to a certain extent.
Orders from Bangladesh were
modest recently and exports of
PFY to Bangladesh may be low in
Jun.
AffectedbytheBIScertification
of India, the PFY exports may
remain high in China in Jun. If the
BIS certification is implemented
as scheduled on Jul 3, PFY
exports may start falling after Jun.
However, factoring into the price
and quality advantage of China-
made PFY, sequent PFY exports
may sustain high compared with
previous years.
If India postpones the
implementationofBIScertification,
the PFY exports are estimated to
be more optimistic in the second
half of 2023. In long run, as it is
difficult to reverse the transfer
trend of domestic textile industry,
exports of China-made PFY are
expected to remain good.

increased 11.5% in May 2023
compared to the same period in
2022, equivalent to the growth rate
in the previous April. Merchandise
sales improved from 9.7% in April
to 10.9% in May. Service revenue
growth slowed from 19.2% in April
to 7.6% in May.
Merchandise exports in May
also reached 6%, lower than
in 2022 due to weak external
demand. Imports fell by 18.4% in
May 2023, reflecting the dwindling
demand for input materials by
both FDI and domestic firms. This
shows that production and export
activities will continue to progress
slowly in the coming months.
Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Core inflation is still quite high
when recorded at 4.5% in May,
almost on par with 4.6% in April.
In May 2023, committed
capital flows from foreign direct
investment (FDI) also slowed
down as global uncertainties
continued to affect investor
confidence. Disbursed FDI in May
this year only reached 1.8 billion
USD (USD), equivalent to 2022. The
State Bank of Vietnam has cut the
refinancing interest rate from 5.5%
to 5. % and overnight lending rate
from 6% to 5.5%. This is the third
rate cut in a row since March 2023.
Credit growth continued to slow,
falling from 9.2% in April 2023 to
9% in May, reflecting weakening
demand.
The budget balance recorded a
rather large deficit, about 2 billion
USD in May 2023. Budget revenue
decreased by 35.8%, reflecting
the impact of high post-COVID
revenues from revenues related to
land, property, etc. Public spending
also increased by 27.8% in May
2023.
Facing this situation, the
representative of the World Bank
recommended that external
demand continues to be weak
and global uncertainties are
having an adverse impact on the
economy, leading to shrinking
exports and imports, and industrial
production. industry slows down.
While domestic consumption (as
reflected in retail sales) remains
solid and comparable to pre-
pandemic growth, credit growth
continues to slow, reflecting weak
credit demand.
Intheeventthatglobalfinancial
conditions tighten, external
demand could weaken further.
Northern Vietnam began to suffer
from a shortage of electricity for
consumption and production at the
end of May, which, if not resolved
in time, could affect the economy.
When inflation showed signs
of slowing down, the State Bank
of Vietnam (SBV) loosened
monetary policies to support the
economy. However, the monetary
policy governing body needs to
closely monitor the difference in
the direction of monetary policy
in Vietnam compared to other
countries, which may create
pressure on capital flows and
exchange rates. Accelerating
public investment disbursement
(including national target
programs) will support aggregate
demand and economic growth
in the short term. At the same
time, prioritizing investments in

ietnam has continued
to be excluded from the
US Department of the
Treasuryâs monitoring list of
currency manipulators in its
latest report on macro-economic
and foreign exchange policies of
major trading partners of the US.
The State Bank of Vietnam
(SBV) said that the report,
released on June 17, continued
to base on three criteria to make
assessments, namely trade
surplus with the US, current
account surplus, and persistent
and one-sided intervention in the
foreign currency market.
Inthereport,theUSDepartment
of the Treasury placed seven
economies on the monitoring list
of major trading partners that merit
close attention to their currency
practices and macro-economic
policies, comprising China, the
Republic of Korea, Germany,
Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland,
and Taiwan (China).
It also found that no major
trading partner manipulated
currency during the period from
January to December 2022. During
the period, Vietnam exceeded only
one of the three criteria, on trade
surplus, so it was excluded from
the monitoring list.
The SBV said that at bilateral
meetings with the central bank
of Vietnam, the US Department
of the Treasury continued highly
valuing the SBVâs governance
of the monetary and foreign
exchange policies, which have
managed to sustain stability of
the financial market, the monetary
market, and the macro-economy
amid numerous difficulties and
challenges.
The SBV has repeatedly
affirmed the consistent target of
Vietnamâs monetary and foreign
exchange policies is to help control
inflation, stabilise the macro-
economy, and ensure safety for
credit institutions. It has been
making efforts
to gradually
modernise and
promote the
transparency of
the monetary
and foreign
exchange policy
frameworks.
The bank has
governed foreign
exchange rates in
a proactive and
flexible manner
that matches the
development level
of its foreign exchange market
and economic factors. It has not
used the foreign exchange policy
to create an unfair competitive
edge while ensuring the foreign
exchange marketâs stable and
smooth operations to help with
macro-economic stability.
It added that it will continue
governing the monetary and
foreign exchange policies in
the abovementioned manner
and actively coordinating with
ministries and sectors to work on
the issues of the US sideâs concern
in the cooperative and goodwill
spirit.

16. The key to success of a ring spinning mill lies in its ability to
produce flawless quality with the highest possible production speed.
Selecting the best ringtraveler system is crucial here. ORBIT allows
exceptional speeds above 23 000 rpm without compromising quality.
When the spindle speed is increased, the frictional power between
the ring and the traveler, and thus the heat generation, increases
exponentially. When speeds are too high, C-shaped travelers are therefore
thermally damaged and fail.
Increase in speed and production
The ORBIT features a large contact surface between the ring and the
traveler (Fig. 1), which is four to five times bigger than that of a T-flange
ring. This drastically reduces the pressure and thus the heat generation.
It also provides more stable running conditions and allows the traveler
weight to be reduced, so speeds above 23 000 rpm can be reached.
The size of the yarn passage also plays an important role (Fig. 1),
especially when processing man-made fibers which are prone to heat
damages. The ORBIT ringtraveler system benefits from a large yarn
passage which minimizes thermal damages for better yarn quality.
Zero compromise on quality
The large contact area of ORBIT between the ring and traveler
contributes to the gentle handling of fibers. The stable running
conditions coupled with the reduced surface pressure and the optimal
heat conduction result in low yarn breakage rates. Recent tests (Fig. 2)
conducted at spinning mills across the world confirm that even at higher
speeds, the ORBIT shows better results in yarn quality than traditional
systems.
Often imitated but never duplicated, the ORBIT ring-traveler system
(Fig. 3) is the reference for spinning at the highest speed. With a wide
scope of applications for all kinds of fibers, with yarn counts between
Ne 20 and Ne 80, the ORBIT ring-traveler system is the solution to reach
higher production and, in some cases, even better quality.

complete information and legal documents to prove
the companyâs eligibility to be removed from LOUA
2. The VCOSA actively supported the investigation
process and worked closely with all parties to achieve
the goal and shorten the processing time. This effort
of VCOSA demonstrates the strategic vision and deep
commitment of Phu Thoâs Board of Directors to enhance
the companyâs reputation and competitive capacity.
Being removed from ICAâs LOUA 2 not only marks an
important milestone in the companyâs history but also
demonstrates Phu Thoâs continuous efforts to enhance
its reputation and expand and build relationships in
both domestic and international markets. It can be said
that this is a step
forward for the
V i e t n a m e s e
s p i n n i n g
i n d u s t r y ,
affirming the
fairness and
transparency of
the ICA.
Indeed, in
recent years,
the VCOSA has
s i g n i f i c a n t l y
contributed to helping the Vietnamese spinning industry
enhance its competitive capacity and recognition. The
relationship between VCOSA and ICA is increasingly
strengthened through activities aimed at protecting the
rights and interests of members of both organizations.
The ICA actively listens to and improves its Bylaws and
Rules to optimize safety, fairness, and transparency in
global cotton trade transactions, while VCOSA regularly
seeks opinions and contributions from its members to
organize programs that support Vietnamese spinning
businesses to enhance their competitive capacity,
protect their rights and interests when engaging in
cotton trade transactions.
Congratulations to Phu Tho on being removed
from ICAâs LOUA 2, and hopefully, this will inspire and
motivate other Vietnamese spinning industry partners
to continue developing and improving the companyâs
reputation.

The global cotton market is currently experiencing an abundance of supply and low international demand.
This is primarily due to slower growth in garment demand compared to previous years, which can be attributed
to high inflation in many countries worldwide.
In April 2023, the average
price of imported cotton from
major markets in Vietnam
experienced a decrease
compared to March 2023.
Specifically, the price of
cotton imported from Brazil
decreased by 0.7% to USD
2,427 per ton, while the price
of cotton imported from the
US market decreased by 0.8%
to USD 2,280 per ton.

Despite the low world
cotton price, the import of
cotton into Vietnam is not
expected to experience
significant growth in the
near future. This is primarily
due to weak domestic
demand in Vietnam.

The world fiber market is still in a downtrend due
to low demand from the textile industry. However, the
market is optimistic because there is a lot of positive
information from fiber mills that have received orders
for fiber supply to increase again. These orders were
redirected slightly higher after the recent increase in
the price of cotton on the ICE.
In China, according to a source from the Global
Textile Network Information Center (https://www.
tnc.com.cn/info/), polyester fiber prices have fallen
in recent days, and reached a level 7,275 yuan/

market demand, the price
of imported fiber has
seen a notable increase in
Vietnam during April 2023.

also seen a sharp rise in
the import volume of fiber
when the world price of
imported fiber began to
trend down.
With the forecast that
the world fiber price will
remain low, while there are
many optimistic signals
from the textile and
garment export orders,
it is forecasted that the
amount of fiber imports
into Vietnam will continue
to increase in the coming
time. In the future, textile
and garment enterprises
need to follow up to
increase imports to serve
production.

of yarn imported from China was
$2,620 per ton, followed by Taiwan
at $2,687 per ton. The highest
import price from Hong Kong was
$8,626 per ton.

is currently experiencing an
oversupply and weak demand,
causing raw material prices to
continue declining.

the level achieved in April 2023,
which was 15,930 yuan per ton.
In Vietnam, the price of
imported yarn has increased, but
due to weak market demand, the
amount of yarn imported into
Vietnam remains low. Although the
world price of yarn has decreased,
Vietnamese enterprises should
closely monitor the situation to
determine the most suitable time
and quantity for purchasing raw
materials in the near future.

commodity group and also the largest decrease in
turnover compared to the same period last year. Other
items such as fabrics, accessories and technical
textile all decreased by -15.7%, -17.8% and -24.0%,
respectively.
Based on statistics from
the General Department of
Customs, Vietnamâs fiber and
yarn exports in May 2023 reached
160.3 thousand tons, generating a
turnover of 390.8 million USD. This
shows growth of 11.2% in volume

prices are on a decline which
indicates a decrease in fiber
and textile product prices.
Furthermore, as global orders for
garments increase, specifically in
the markets of Bangladesh, India,
and Turkey, there will be a surge in
the demand for production input
materials such as fiber, yarn, and
fabric. Hence, Vietnamâs export
of fiber and yarn is predicted to
continue its recovery in the near
future.
In the first five months of
2023, Vietnamâs main market for
fiber and yarn exports was found
in China, accounting for 50.7% of
the total volume and 55.3% of the

remaining markets only accounted
for 1-7%, depending on each
individual market.
During this time, export to
China decreased by 9.5% in volume
and 29.3% in turnover compared to

A
fter three years of drought,
significant rainfall finally
arrived in West Texas. In
certain areas, precipitation was
heavy enough to cause flooding.
While flooding may have a
detrimental impact on some farm
operations, the arrival of rain has
already caused projections for
abandonment to decrease.
The USDA lowered its national
abandonment figure by 700,000
acres month-over-month, dropping
its forecast abandonment rate for
the U.S. from 23% (May figure) to
16% (June figure). As the season
progresses, additional rain will be
needed to support plant health, but
recent precipitation will encourage
germination and any moisture
accumulated within the soil will be
beneficial.
The weather will remain an
importantvariabletowatchinother
major growing regions. In China,
there were some challenging
conditions early in the season,
and the crop is expected to be
smaller than one year ago due to a
combination of lower acreage and
yield (27.0 million bales in 2023/24
versus 30.7 million in 2022/23).
The Indian government just
announced a 9-10% increase in the
minimum support price for cotton
(guarantees vary by quality).
Despite the addition, Indian
acreage is expected to fall due
to price-related competition
from other commodities (USDA
forecasting a 5% drop in Indian
planting, but Indian production is
expected to increase 2% due to a
forecast calling for higher yields).
The monsoon season, which
brings most of Indiaâs annual
rainfall, just got underway. This
yearâs monsoon arrived a little later
than usual, and Indian government
projections suggest slightly less
accumulation than the long-term
average. Pakistan has suffered
from recent hailstorms, but the
crop has otherwise been reported
to have been progressing well
so far this season. The USDA
indicates the Pakistani harvest
will be two million bales larger
than last crop yearâs flood-affected
figure (5.9 million bales in 2023/24
versus 3.9 million in 2022/23).
As the weather unfolds,
understanding of the global
supply situation will improve.
More persistent questions for the
market will likely come from the
demand side of the market. Global
economic growth is expected to
be sluggish and there have been
widespread reports of inventory
accumulation throughout supply
chains.
