Pakistan’s marketing year 2018/19 cotton production is forecast at 8.8 million 480 lb bales, up 500,000 bales from the revised 2017/18 estimate. The increase reflects a modest increase in area as prospects for higher prices and frustration with delays in sugarcane payments are expected to encourage some farmers to plant more cotton. Cotton consumption is up slightly, but largely unchanged from levels observed over the past decade. Textile exports have declined over the past three years. Pakistan is likely to continue as a significant importer to augment domestic production, though imports are expected to decline to 2.4 million 480 lb bales in response to improved production.
