Cotton: Market Outlook

Contents
 

The Economic Research Service (ERS) conducts a variety of ongoing market outlook activities on the cotton industry. Details on major changes and events in the U.S. and world cotton markets are published 10 months of the year in ERS's Cotton and Wool Outlook report (previously published outlook reports are also available). The Cotton and Wool Yearbook provides a recap of the previous cotton season and an outlook for the current marketing year.

ERS—with USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board, Agricultural Marketing Service, Farm Service Agency, and Foreign Agricultural Service—develops USDA's monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. The WASDE provides the latest domestic and global cotton supply and utilization outlook.

Long-term supply and utilization projections for cotton are available through the USDA Agricultural Baseline Projections briefing room. For further information on the supply and demand issues underlying the baseline for cotton, see:
