Turkish cotton planting and production for Marketing Year (MY) 2020/21 is projected to be about 480,000 hectares and 760,000 metric tons (MT) (3.5 million bales). Turkish cotton area and production for MY 2019/20 is estimated at 590,000 hectares and 800,000 MT (3.7 million bales) as weather conditions affected production and foreign exchange turmoil affected input costs. Domestic consumption in MY 2019/20 is estimated to remain similar to the previous MY at 1.55 million MT (7.1 million bales) and expected to increase a bit in MY 2020/21, reaching 1.6 million MT (7.35 million bales). These consumption estimates are subject to revision depending on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Turkish textile industry continues to be one of the leading sectors in the Turkish economy and the United States remains the top supplier of cotton to the Turkish market.
