Pakistan’s 2017/18 cotton production is forecast at 9.0 million 480 lb bales, down slightly from the current USDA estimate due to a slight reduction in area as projected yields are largely unchanged. Monsoon performance in cotton growing areas has been below average, but farmers are able to compensate with ground water. Insect infestations have occurred, but have not exceeded expectations and higher cotton prices should prompt farmers to manage their crops and pursue additional pickings. The estimate of 2016/17 imports is slightly lower at 2.2 million 480 lb bales based on preliminary official data.
