India: Cotton and Products Update

Post estimates cotton production at 28.5 million 480-lb bales in marketing year (MY) 2020/21 on an area of 12.64 million hectares. Cotton planting is underway in Northern India; however, no official sowing data has been published for the Kharif 2020 season. The availability of labor may become an issue during the season as the mass movement of migrant laborers back to their native states may lead to labor shortages at farms and processing plants, which are slowly resuming operations. Domestic demand and exports experienced a significant decline as the nationwide lockdown was extended until May 31.
