Post/New MY 2015/2016 total Mexican cotton production is forecast to decrease approximately 19 percent due to an expected decrease in planted area. Total domestic cotton consumption in MY 2014/15 is forecast to increase slightly from the previous year to 1.95 million bales (each bale weighs 480 pounds). The Government of Mexico (GOM) postponed the removal of protective duties for textile and other products until 2018. The GOM also implemented various programs aimed at supporting the growth of the Mexican textile industry. The United States should continue to remain the main supplier of cotton to Mexico which accounts for about 100 percent of Mexico’s total cotton imports.
