Uzbekistan: Cotton and Products Update
Post forecasts MY14/15 lint production at 4.3 million bales. Generally favorable weather conditions are countered by irrigation water deficit in the South and some pest problems during vegetation in several regions. Uzbekistan’s MY2014/15 domestic lint consumption is forecast at 1.5 million bales. MY2013/14 and MY 2014/15 lint exports are both forecast at 2.9 million bales.
