ICE cotton gains modestly, weak export demand limits rally
Fri. 24th July 2026 (Source: www.fibre2fashion.com/news)
Insights: ICE cotton futures extended gains for a fourth straight session, supported by stronger crude oil prices and broader strength in agricultural commodities.
However, weak US export sales, a firmer US dollar and light trading capped gains.
Traders continue to monitor weather, export demand, Brazil's larger crop outlook and China's reserve auctions.
ICE cotton futures posted slight gains for the fourth consecutive session yesterday, supported by stronger crude oil prices and gains across agricultural commodity markets. However, the upside remained limited due to weaker US export sales and a firmer US dollar.
The most-active December 2026 contract settled at 81.21 cents per pound, up 0.10 cent. Although the market recorded another higher close, the advance remained modest as weak US export sales and a stronger US dollar capped gain. Other nearby contracts also ended slightly higher.
Cotton continued to draw support from higher crude oil prices and strength across agricultural commodity markets. CBOT wheat futures climbed to fresh highs, supported by concerns over Black Sea exports and dry weather in key producing regions, while corn and soybean futures also advanced.
Crude oil traded above $100 per barrel, reaching its highest level in several months amid persistent geopolitical tensions and concerns over potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. Higher crude oil prices increase the production cost of polyester fibre, thereby improving cotton's competitiveness against synthetic fibres.
Market analysts said the strength in grain and energy markets continued to support cotton prices, adding that weather-related concerns remain an important underlying factor across agricultural commodities.
Trading volumes remained light, indicating cautious buying interest despite the fourth consecutive daily gain, as traders awaited stronger confirmation of demand.
The USDA Weekly Export Sales Report for the week ended July 16 continued to weigh on market sentiment. Current-crop Upland cotton export sales totalled 51,287 bales, down 49 per cent from the previous week and 12 per cent below the four-week average. The total included 15,475 bales sold to China.
Traders also remained focused on global production prospects. China's reserve auctions continued to support nearby demand, while market attention stayed on weather-related production risks in major exporting countries.
AgRural estimated Brazil's 2025-26 cotton crop at approximately 4.20 million tonnes, around 1.5 per cent higher than its previous estimate, reflecting expectations of another large harvest. Brazil has already exported more than 2.06 million tonnes of cotton this season and continues to increase shipments, reinforcing its position as one of the world's leading cotton exporters and a major competitor to US cotton in global markets.
ICE certified cotton stocks declined further to 94,235 bales as of July 22, continuing the steady reduction in deliverable supplies.
Overall, cotton recorded a fourth consecutive daily gain, supported by strength in crude oil and agricultural commodity markets. However, weak export sales and light trading activity continued to limit bullish momentum. Traders remain focused on weather developments, export demand, and global supply conditions for cues on the market's next direction.
This morning (Indian Standard Time), the December 2026 ICE cotton contract traded at 81.38 cents per pound, up 0.17 cent. The cash cotton contract was at 76.09 cents, down 0.03 cent, while the October 2026 contract traded at 79.84 cents, also down 0.03 cent. The March 2027 contract rose 0.15 cent to 82.98 cents, the May 2027 contract gained 0.07 cent to 84.05 cents, and the July 2027 contract edged down 0.02 cent to 83.59 cents. A few contracts remained unchanged, with no trading recorded so far today.

Mixed trend in US cotton exports; average sales decline: USDA
Fri. 24th July 2026 (Source: www.fibre2fashion.com/news)
Insights: US cotton export bookings recovered in the week ended July 16, with Upland cotton sales rising 49 per cent from the previous week, led by China, Vietnam, and India.
Export shipments also increased 29 per cent, though sales remained below the four-week average.
Pima cotton demand remained stable, with India the largest buyer and key importer.
US cotton export sale showed a recovery in US cotton export bookings for the week ended July 16, after the sharp slowdown recorded in the previous week. According to the USDA Weekly Export Sales Report, sales of Upland cotton of current season improved from the previous week, while shipments also gained momentum, although demand remained below recent averages.
Net sales of Upland cotton for the 2025-26 marketing year totalled 51,300 RB (running bales, each weighing 226.8 kg), up 49 per cent from the previous week, but down 12 per cent from the prior four-week average. China was the largest buyer with purchases of 15,500 RB, including 1,000 RB switched from Hong Kong. Vietnam followed with 12,300 RB, including 1,600 RB switched from South Korea and reductions of 1,900 RB. India purchased 7,100 RB, while Bangladesh and Mexico booked 4,400 RB and 3,700 RB, respectively. These gains were partly offset by reductions from South Korea, Hong Kong, Pakistan, and Türkiye.
New-crop Upland cotton sales for the 2026-27 marketing year increased to 16,100 RB, compared with 4,100 RB in the previous week. Vietnam led purchases with 7,100 RB, followed by India with 4,700 RB, Pakistan with 2,200 RB, Peru with 1,500 RB and Mexico with 1,200 RB. These gains were partly offset by reductions from South Korea, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.
Upland cotton export shipments increased to 276,300 RB, rising 29 per cent from the previous week and 15 per cent above the prior four-week average. Vietnam was the largest destination with shipments of 96,300 RB, followed by Pakistan with 42,700 RB, Türkiye with 31,800 RB, India with 20,400 RB and Bangladesh with 16,400 RB. The increase marked a recovery from the previous week when Upland shipments declined to 214,900 RB.
Pima cotton demand remained relatively stable during the week. Net sales for the 2025-26 marketing year totalled 3,200 RB, down 11 per cent from the previous week, but 15 per cent above the prior four-week average. India was the largest buyer with 2,400 RB, followed by Pakistan and Türkiye with 400 RB each and Thailand with 200 RB. New-crop Pima sales for the 2026-27 marketing year stood at 1,500 RB, with Peru accounting for 1,100 RB and India for 400 RB.
Pima cotton export shipment rose slightly to 8,000 RB, up 3 per cent from the previous week, but down 37 per cent from the prior four-week average. Vietnam was the leading destination with shipments of 2,200 RB, followed by India with 2,100 RB, Costa Rica, and Egypt with 900 RB each, and Pakistan with 800 RB.
The latest USDA data indicate that US cotton export demand regained some momentum, after the previous week’s slowdown. Upland cotton bookings improved, supported by stronger buying from major Asian markets including China, Vietnam, and India, while export shipments recovered across key destinations. However, sales remained below the recent four-week average, suggesting that demand conditions continue to be measured. Pima cotton demand stayed comparatively steady, with India remaining an important market for both sales and shipments.
US imposes forced labour tariffs on 60 economies
Fri. 24th July 2026 (Source: www.fibre2fashion.com/news)
Insights: USTR is imposing Section 301 tariffs on 60 economies over forced-labour import bans, with rates set at 10 per cent, 10 or 12.5 per cent net of MFN, or 12.5 per cent.
Apparel and textile importers face duty exposure across affected sourcing markets.
Product exemptions cover some raw materials and goods tied to domestic supply or economy-wide disruption risks.
The US is imposing Section 301 tariffs on goods from economies found to have failed to impose and effectively enforce prohibitions on imports made with forced labour, adding a compliance-linked duty issue for textile and apparel supply chains shipping into the US.
The measure is relevant for sourcing, manufacturing and import teams using covered origins because duties vary by economy and product, while some product exemptions have been deemed appropriate.
The United States Trade Representative (USTR) said the final action follows investigations covering 60 economies, two rounds of public hearings, more than 2,100 public comments and consultations with more than 45 governments of economies subject to the investigations.
According to USTR, a 10 per cent Section 301 duty applies to investigated economies that impose a forced labour import prohibition, have committed to impose and enforce such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, or have a partial regime preventing imports of certain forced-labour goods.
These economies are Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom. USTR said 10 per cent or 12.5 per cent, net of Most-Favoured-Nation rate, applies to certain non-exempt products of the European Union, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Switzerland, while 12.5 per cent applies to all other investigated economies.
The White House memorandum listed the investigated economies as Algeria, Angola, Argentina, Australia, The Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, the People’s Republic of China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, the European Union, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hong Kong, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkiye, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Venezuela and Vietnam.
USTR said the investigations were initiated on March 12, 2026, at the direction of President Trump. Public hearings were held on April 28 and April 29, and on June 2, 2026, the US Trade Representative determined that the acts, policies and practices of the 60 investigated economies were unreasonable and burdened or restricted US commerce.
USTR added that it later received, reviewed and analysed over 1,600 written comments on proposed responsive action and held public hearings from July 7 to July 9, at which over 100 witnesses provided testimony.
Jamieson Greer, US Trade Representative said,"President Trump recognises that decades of moral suasion have not eradicated forced labour from global supply chains. US has had a forced labour import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it is well past time for our trading partners to do the same."
USTR also said product exemptions are appropriate for raw materials that could lead to unavailability of domestic supply if tariffed, products that could cause economy-wide disruptions if subject to the tariffs, and products that cannot be grown or produced in sufficient quantities or at reasonable prices in the US or obtained from other sources.
The White House memorandum said USTR had proposed a textile mechanism that would allow a certain volume of apparel and textile imports to enter the US at a zero Section 301 tariff rate.
USTR said further details for certain products and exemptions are set out in the Federal Register Notice.
US tariff decision puts Indian T&A exporters at disadvantage: CITI
Fri. 24th July 2026 (Source: www.fibre2fashion.com/news)
Insights: CITI says a 10 per cent US tariff on Indian goods linked to forced-labour import enforcement could hit textile and apparel exporters.
TRQ windows for Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia may divert US sourcing away from India.
CITI wants Indian government engagement with the US, citing reputational risk and possible effects on intermediate textile exports.
The Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) has expressed grave concern over the US imposing a 10 per cent tariff on Indian goods following investigations conducted under Section 301 by the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR). The investigations relate to the enforcement of prohibitions on imports of goods produced with forced labour.
“The tariff imposition on the issue of forced labour is deeply unfortunate as it does not indicate an expiry date, causes reputational risks, and CITI looks forward to the Indian government taking up this issue with the US given the detrimental impact it could have on textile and apparel exports from India,” Ashwin Chandran, chairman, CITI said in a press release.
“What could raise a serious challenge for Indian textile and apparel exporters is the fact that although many key competitors of ours have also been subject to the same tariff rate, a window has been opened for textile and apparel exports from these countries to enter the United States free of the Section 301 tariffs. This differential treatment risks diverting sourcing orders for textile and apparel items away from India,” Chandran pointed out.
The US Federal Register Notice mentions:
“As soon as the Trade Representative determines that it is feasible, the Trade Representative shall: (i) establish TRQs for Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia, with an initial duration of 3 years, to encourage the importation by each of these economies of US textile goods, in order to reduce reliance on inputs from other sources that are more likely to contain forced labour inputs; and
(ii) structure the TRQs for Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia to allow for a certain volume of specific textiles and apparel, based on that economy’s importation of US inputs, to enter the United States free of the section 301 tariffs provided for in section 1(a) of this memorandum.”
TRQs refer to Tariff-Rate Quotas.
Chandran said India’s textile and apparel industry operates under a robust national legal and institutional framework that prohibits forced labour. He added that the industry maintains a zero-tolerance approach, backed by active enforcement measures and compliance mechanisms.
On July 13, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) had issued a notification inserting new paragraphs into the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) regarding the prohibition on the import of goods produced using forced labour. India has also implemented four Labour Codes to protect workers’ rights.
Chandran added that the US tariff imposed on the issue of “forced labour” could also affect exports of intermediate textile items from India to other nations.
The US is the single-largest market for India’s textile and apparel items. Exports of textile and apparel products from India to the US are usually close to $11 billion.
US reduces forced labour duty on India from 12.5% to 10%
Fri. 24th July 2026 (Source: www.fibre2fashion.com/news)
Insights: India will face a new 10-per cent US tariff after Washington reduced the 12.5-per cent duty proposed initially under its forced labour investigation.
The final tariff on India was reduced after New Delhi introduced measures to prohibit imports produced wholly or partly using forced labour.
Nations like China, the UK and Japan that lack laws barring the import of such goods will face 12.5-per cent tariffs.
India will face a new 10-per cent US tariff after Washington reduced the 12.5-per cent duty proposed initially under its forced labour investigation.
The final tariff on India was reduced after New Delhi introduced measures to prohibit imports produced wholly or partly using forced labour.
The announcement was part of US President Donald Trump’s latest decision to impose new double-digit tariffs on at least 60 US trading partners, claiming that they have inadequately enforced bans on goods produced by forced labour.
The US government will impose taxes ranging from 10 per cent to 12.5 per cent on imports from these nations.
Countries like China, the United Kingdom and Japan that lack laws barring the import of goods produced with forced labour will face tariffs of 12.5 per cent, the White House said in its order.
Certain economies like Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Sri Lanka, and Trinidad and Tobago and the European Union have imposed forced labour import prohibitions or undertaken commitments regarding forced labour import prohibitions. Hence goods from these economies should be tariffed at the 10-per cent rate, the White House noted.
Some US imports, like products governed by the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement and oil and gas, are exempt from the new tariffs.
The latest tariffs take effect today, the moment the temporary 10-per cent import tax earlier enforced by Trump expired. That measure was introduced after a February Supreme Court judgement that invalidated Trump's so-called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs introduced in April last year.
New Subsidy Scheme for Cotton Farmers in Maharashtra: Up to ₹75,000 Assistance
Thu. 24th July 2026, Jayesh Chouhan (Source: www.smartinfoindia.com
New Subsidy Scheme for Cotton Farmers in Maharashtra
Jalgaon: The Agriculture Department has launched a significant scheme for cotton farmers under the 'Cotton Productivity Mission 2026-27'. The initiative aims to minimize post-harvest losses, ensure better utilization of cotton stalks, and promote modern technology and mechanization in farming. Under the scheme, eligible farmers will receive attractive subsidies for purchasing biochar units and cotton shredders. District Superintendent Agriculture Officer Kurban Tadvi has urged farmers to apply online promptly via the MahaDBT portal.
The scheme places special emphasis on producing biochar from cotton residues to increase soil carbon content and improve fertility. Farmers will receive a subsidy covering 50% of the total cost or a maximum of ₹10,000 (whichever is lower) for purchasing a biochar unit. This will not only ensure better management of agricultural waste but also help reduce production costs and promote sustainable farming.
Additionally, financial assistance will be provided for purchasing cotton shredder machines, which cut cotton stalks into small pieces. Farmers belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) will receive a subsidy of 50% of the machine's cost, up to a maximum of ₹75,000. Meanwhile, farmers from the general category will receive assistance of 40%, up to a maximum of ₹60,000. The scheme applies to individual farmers as well as farmer groups, Farmer Producer Companies (FPOs), and agricultural cooperative societies.
The Agriculture Department has clarified that beneficiaries for both schemes will be selected on a 'first-come, first-served' basis; therefore, eligible farmers should not delay their applications. However, availing a bank loan is mandatory to benefit from the scheme, as the subsidy is loan-linked. Furthermore, farmers who have previously received a subsidy for the same equipment under any other government scheme will not be eligible for this scheme. For further information regarding the application process or the scheme, farmers can contact the office of their respective Taluka Agriculture Officer.
COTTON PRODUCTION
Thu. 24th July 2026 (Source: www. pib.gov.in)
Cotton production during the recent cotton seasons has ranged from 352.48 lakh bales in 2020-21 to 290.91 lakh bales (Provisional) in 2025-26. The variation in production is primarily attributable to changes in cotton acreage, as some farmers have diversified to other remunerative crops. Cotton productivity has, however, remained broadly stable in the range of 428-451 kg/hectare during this period. The details of area, production and productivity are given below.
Cotton prices have reflected prevailing domestic and international market conditions. During the recent period, international cotton prices increased by about 19%, while domestic cotton prices (S-6 variety) increased by about 18%. To augment domestic availability, imports of raw cotton and cotton yarn are undertaken whenever required. The details of imports of raw cotton and cotton yarn are given below.
The overall cotton availability in the country, including imports, meets the requirements of the domestic textile industry. The estimated production, carry-over stocks and imports meet the projected consumption and the cotton situation is continuously monitored.
The Government has taken timely measures to support the textile industry, including exemption of the 11% import duty on cotton imports from 01.06.2026 to 31.10.2026 to facilitate adequate availability of raw cotton at competitive prices. The Government has also continued the exemption from import duty on Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton (ITC HS Code 52010025), effective from 20.02.2024, to facilitate the availability of quality cotton for the textile industry. Further, the Government has approved the five-year Mission for Cotton Productivity (Kapas Kanti) (2026–27 to 2030–31), with an outlay of ₹5,659.22 crore to increase productivity & improve the quality of the cotton.
TRADE PREPAREDNESS AND EXPORT COMPETITIVENESS OF TEXTILE SECTOR
Thu. 24th July 2026 (Source: www. pib.gov.in)
India’s exports of textiles and apparel, including handicrafts, stood at ₹3,25,339 crore in 2025–26, registering a growth of 1.8 per cent over ₹3,19,573.2 crore in 2024–25 with export growth recorded in over 100 countries.
The Government has implemented several schemes and undertaken various initiatives to strengthen the global competitiveness and export preparedness of the Textile and Apparel sector. These inter-alia includes the PM Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel Parks Scheme (including at Amravati, Maharashtra), the Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Textiles, the National Technical Textiles Mission, SAMARTH - Scheme for Capacity Building in the Textile Sector, and the launch of various components including Market Access Support and interest subvention under the Export Promotion Mission etc. In addition, several measures have recently been undertaken to support the Textile and Apparel exports and address emerging global challenges. These include the extension of Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products Scheme up to 30 September 2026; the temporary exemption from customs duty on import of Cotton falling under Customs Tariff Heading 5201 from 1 June to 31 October 2026; the temporary exemption from customs duties on key inputs in the man-made fibre (MMF) value chain, including Purified Terephthalic Acid and Mono-Ethylene Glycol ; rationalisation of GST rates for correcting of the inverted duty structure in the MMF value chain; and the launch of the Resilience & Logistics Intervention for Export Facilitation (RELIEF) initiative to support exporters affected by disruptions arising from the evolving geopolitical situation in West Asia and its continuing impact on maritime logistics across the Gulf and adjoining regions.
The Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) Scheme, operational since March 2019, provides for the rebate of embedded State and Central taxes and levies on the export of garments and made-ups, with a view to enhancing the competitiveness of these sectors. The Scheme has been extended for a further period of six months, up to 30 September 2026, to ensure policy predictability and stability for exporters in these sectors.
The Government has also adopted a focused export-promotion and market-diversification strategy covering 40 priority countries. Sixteen Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), including the India–United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), are already in force. In addition, the FTA negotiations with the European Union have been successfully concluded, while India has signed an FTA with New Zealand. These agreements provide an opportunity for Indian textiles and apparel sector to enhance their exports and undertake market diversification.
To further enhance textile sector competitiveness and export preparedness, the Ministry of Textiles has established six Textile Export Facilitation Centres (TEFCs), including at Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, launched India Immersive Experience Programme through National Institute of Fashion Technology to showcase India's textiles, handicrafts, culture and design ecosystem to international institutions of designs/fashions. The Ministry of Textiles successfully concluded the Textiles Summit in June 2026 which brought together representatives from State Governments/ UTs, industry, and academia to foster collaborative dialogue on the growth of the textile sector and unlock the potential of districts. The products of textiles & handicraft were exported from more than 500 districts in 2025-26. The district led focused approach with 100 champion & 100 aspirational Textiles Districts has been adopted to facilitate better improved planning and implementation support. The third edition of Bharat Tex, a global mega textiles event was held from 14th-17th July, 2026 to showcase India's entire textile value chain, foster global business partnerships, and position India as a leading global sourcing and manufacturing hub for textiles and apparel.
Collectively, these measures have helped diversify export markets, strengthen supply-chain resilience, improve market access including through e-commerce and enhance the competitiveness of Indian exporters, particularly MSMEs including Maharashtra.
