Global production trends influence India’s cotton and cotton oil market in August 2025. The country’s kharif cotton sowing is largely complete, with strong monsoon rains supporting crop growth and soil moisture.
India’s dependence on global supply is evident, with imports from Australia, the U.S., Brazil, and Egypt increasing to $1.2 billion. China’s cotton production is projected at 31.5 million bales, while Brazil is on track for a record crop.
India’s cotton market is closely tied to global trends, and monitoring production, trade, weather, and policy developments will be crucial in shaping future market dynamics.
