The most recent Export Sales Report shows that total commitments for 2021/22 (accumulated exports
plus outstanding sales, OS) relative to forecast exports of 15.0 million bales for the 2021/22 marketing
year (MY) are in line with historical levels. However, accumulated exports through week 22 as a
percentage of forecast exports are the second-lowest since Export Sales Reporting started in 1974. At
the same time, current outstanding sales as a percentage of projected exports are the second-highest in
10 years. Simply put, large outstanding sales are offsetting low physical shipments thus far.
Outstanding sales to China, Turkey, and Pakistan are up sharply from last year. A large portion of sales to
China are believed to be destined for its State Reserve, with delivery expected in the second half of the
marketing year. Pakistan, which experienced a very poor crop in 2020, saw very high levels of buying in
2020/21 resulting in both large carryover sales and 2021/22 sales; outstanding sales at the beginning of
2021/22 were nearly double
their previous record level. Sales
to Turkey have been strong with
record forecast consumption
exceeding the previous year’s
record by 800,000 bales; imports
are forecast at their second-
highest level.
While overall sales have been
adequate to reach the export
forecast, shipments have been
extremely slow, particularly in
the last 2 months reflecting low
beginning stocks, lags in
harvesting and processing, and
logistical issues. Shipments

 through December are down 45 percent from last season (2021/22 exports are forecast down nearly 10
percent from the previous year). Exports to eight of the top 10 markets are down, with China down over
70 percent and Vietnam down by half.
China’s total imports during August-November 2021 are down nearly 60 percent from the same period,
and U.S. market share has fallen from 61 to 42 percent. Slower demand is attributed to China liquidating
record stocks of foreign cotton in bonded warehouses since the beginning of the marketing year.
Vietnam’s total imports are up 15 percent through mid-December while U.S. shipments to the country
are down 55 percent. Australia has greatly benefited from the fall in U.S. market share.
However, U.S. shipments are up to destinations outside last season’s top ten, particularly to Central
American markets. Logistical issues affecting textile and apparel shipments to the United States from
Asia and the Withhold Release Order on cotton from Xinjiang are likely supporting stronger mill demand
in Central America. Similarly, the primary and secondary shocks of the COVID pandemic have altered
typical seasonal patterns for U.S. cotton exports on both the plus and negative sides at various times
since February 2020. Late harvested cotton is reportedly moving into position for export and later-
season U.S. shipments are expected to be above typical seasonal norms.

Shipments in the remainder of 2021/22 are expected to total more than 11.4 million bales, 30 percent
above last season and 25 percent above the average of the last 10 years. In only 2 years since 1974 has
the United States shipped that level of cotton.
In addition to logistical issues, tighter beginning stocks and delayed classing have also contributed to the
slow start. As shippers adjust to logistical issues and COVID-affected classing catches up, exports are
expected to accelerate significantly enabling exports to reach the forecast. Similarly, during August-

Global Market Analysis
 December 2020 U.S. cotton exports shot up 34 percent from the year before and 66 percent from 2
years earlier to a record high as shipments delayed by the pandemic’s start were completed.

2021/22 Outlook
Global production is lowered from last month with smaller crops in the United States and India more
than offsetting larger crops in China, Australia, and Pakistan. Use is mostly unchanged and ending stocks
are down more than 700,000 bales. Global trade is trimmed with imports for China and U.S. exports
both projected lower.

U.S. production is down more than 600,000 to 17.6 million bales. Exports are reduced 500,000 bales and
use is raised 50,000 bales, with ending stocks 200,000 bales lower. The U.S. season-average farm price is
unchanged at 90 cents per pound.

Change 9.2 7.8 2.2 15.7 1.0

Global cotton prices rose since last month’s WASDE following strong global demand amidst constrained
supplies available for nearby delivery. Speculators liquidated contracts after last month’s onset of the
Omicron COVID-19 variant, however, open interest has edged back up on the Intercontinental
Commodity Exchange as speculators have registered greater long positions. India witnessed the most
significant rise this month, climbing over 15 cents owing to resilient domestic demand. Strong export
sales and logistical constraints continue to support prices in the United States. Spot prices in China and
Brazil were marginally higher from the previous report. Nonetheless, a significant margin between prices
in China relative to the rest of the world remains. The A-index is roughly 30 cents lower than domestic
prices in China compared with 20 cents at this period last year; imports are expected to rise significantly
in the coming months.
