Australia: Cotton and Products Annual
In 2018/19, Post forecasts Australian cotton production to reach 4.7 million bales from a harvested area of 450,000 hectares. This compares to 4 million bales in 2017/18 from a revised harvested area of 470,000 hectares due to poor seasonal conditions. Exports are forecast at 4.4 million bales in 2018/19 as a result of the larger harvest and strong international demand.
