In 2023, the United States led global cottonseed exports at 499 thousand metric tons, with a 3.17% year-on-year increase. Australia, at 140 thousand metric tons, and Greece, at 135 thousand metric tons, saw declines of 1.89% and 2.73%, respectively. The Ivory Coast also decreased by 1.77% to 107 thousand metric tons. Notable increases include Argentina (6.72% to 18 thousand tons) and Myanmar (14.87% to 6 thousand tons). Other countries like Benin and Togo exhibited moderate growth, while Brazil and Zambia saw significant reductions.
Future trends to watch include increasing exports from emerging markets like Argentina and Myanmar, driven by favorable agricultural policies and growing global demand for cottonseed. Conversely, major exporters like the United States and Australia might face competitive pressures and environmental challenges impacting their growth trajectories.
