COTTON: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE
September 1997
This report provides the selected data from the
current COTTON: WORLD MARKETS AND TRADE publication.
This report draws on information from USDA's global network

materials, and results of office analysis. Estimates of U.S.
acreage, yield and production are from the USDA Agricultural
Statistics Board, except where noted. This report is based
on unrounded data; numbers may not add to totals because of
rounding. The report reflects official USDA estimates
released in the World Agricultural Supply Estimates
WASDE number 330, September 12, 1997.
The report was prepared by the Cotton, Oilseeds, Tobacco, and Seeds
Division, FAS, Stop 1051, 14th and Independence Ave.,
