The Future of U.S. Cotton Exports: Prospects and Uncertainties

Phil Peabody, Samerendu Mohanty, David Willis, and Jaime Malaga

ABSTRACT

The cotton industry is one which is heavily reliable on international trade. The United States, while a large demander of the world’s cotton, is also one of the world’s largest producers of the crop making them heavily reliant upon exports to the rest of the world. In recent years, U.S. exports have been at record levels. Texas Tech baseline predictions have exports remaining at these levels but showing little growth in the next decade. From the Texas Tech baselines, some countries are predicted to compete with the U.S. in exporting cotton, while others are predicted as major importers of cotton. Net Exporters include the U.S., Australia, Brazil, and Uzbekistan. Net Importers include China, India, and Mexico.
