Conclusions
1) SUPPLY 1: Production capable of meeting
expected demand
2) SUPPLY 2: Stocks likely to fall only
modestly and will continue to overhang
market
3) TRADE: reduced demand from China
means exports fall to range between 7
and 8 mtons

Conclusions 4) CONSUMPTION: recovery as cotton
prices become more competitive with
man-made fibers
5) CONSUMPTION: even with more
competitive prices, cotton’s share of
market will continue to erode
6) PRICES: Returning to long-term average
of 70 cts/lb with limited upside potential
7) PRICES: Downside potential reduced
because of gov’t assistance, but
adjustment postponed

73rd Plenary – Final Statement
ICAC members reiterated that cotton is an
integral part of the Doha Development Agenda
and that there can be no successful conclusion
of that agenda without an agreement on cotton.
The ICAC restated the importance of trade
policy as a key factor in promoting world
economic growth and development, and voiced
support for the WTO’s role in promoting free
trade.”
