About Cotton
Cotton is the world's most widely traded agricultural fiber, used in textiles, apparel, and industrial products. The US, India, and China collectively account for over 60% of global production, while Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Indonesia drive export-oriented mill demand. Cotton prices are heavily influenced by competing synthetic fiber prices (polyester), government subsidy programs in China and India, and seasonal weather patterns across the US Cotton Belt.
