The distribution of cottonseed in the US is forecasted to rise gradually from 4.47 million metric tons in 2024 to 4.53 million metric tons in 2028. It is important to note that in 2023, the distribution stood at 4.46 million metric tons. The year-on-year variation indicates a stable increase, with a nominal rise of 0.22% from 2024 to 2025, 0.45% from 2025 to 2026, and consistent growth thereafter. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be 0.39%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in agricultural policies, technological advancements in agriculture, and global market dynamics that could impact cottonseed production and distribution in the US. Monitoring climate change implications on crop yields will also be crucial for accurate forecasting and strategic planning.
