On the export side, increases in several cotton exporting countries are expected to be more than offset by export declines in Brazil and India. Brazil’s 2012/13 cotton exports are forecast at 4.0 million bales, down 17 percent from the preceding year’s record. India is expected to export 3.7 million bales in 2012/13, down 63 percent from the previous year, due to lower supplies and higher domestic consumption.
Australia and the AFZ are forecast to export 4.5 million bales and 2.8 million bales, an increase of 7 percent and 24 percent, respectively, from a year earlier. If realized, Australia’s share of world trade will rise to 12 percent, while AFZ’s share will be 7.4 percent. Uzbekistan and the United States are expected to export 2.8 million bales and 12.1 million bales in 2012/13, up 10 percent and 4 percent, respectively, from the preceding year.
