Indonesia: Cotton and Products Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Cotton imports for 2018/19 are lowered to 3.05 million bales due to competition from imported yarn and fabrics, a weak rupiah, and lower demand from export markets for garments. Consumption for 2019/20 is expected to remain stable at 3.1 million bales as expansion among larger mills and a new regulation on imports of yarn and fabrics is expected to balance lower overseas demand.
