Recent Past Cotton Economic Factors

Declining Demand

High Stocks– World and China High stocks were not as influential on price because  the majority was held in China and the market knew that most of that was not going into the world pipeline.  It was China’s stocks policy that was important, not the actual stocks number. 

Declining US Acreage and Production

The New Dynamics of the Cotton Market

Demand is Improving

China stocks have been reduced Massive stocks had less impact on prices than most imagined because China reduced area and production, cut imports, and utilized stocks in their mills– 2 years of very good government reserve sales.

Emergence of new export markets

US has gained market share

Tennessee Considerations for 2018

• Old crop (2017)• Tennessee producers should take advantage of quality premiums

• Macro conditions and USD

• Export sales pace• Harvest weather

• New crop (2018)• Domestic carry over will weigh on prices 

• Planted acreage will be dictated by relative prices

Key Issues for 2018

• USDA numbers will reduce the crop… but by how much

• Look to see if projected exports remain strong

• Will demand continue to improve?

• Crops in India, China, Australia• Prices likely 60 to 70 cents  (maybe 55 – 65)

• Cottonseed program still a possibility

• USDA may look to authorize CGCS Program for 2017 and 2018

• Getting cotton back into commodity programs
