Uzbekistan: Cotton and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Uzbek cotton planted area and production target for MY 2017/18 is announced as 1.2 million hectares and about 3.18 MMT of seed cotton. The Government of Uzbekistan (GOU) continues with its plan to lower the targeted cotton planting area and production of seed cotton to increase vegetable and fruit production in the areas where seed cotton yields are low. Domestic cotton consumption is increasing year by year with new investments which are reducing cotton availability for exports. Accordingly, MY2016/17 domestic consumption is estimated about 1.93 million 480 pounds bales (400,000 MT) and exports 1.74 million bales (380,000 MT).
