In 2023, Türkiye's cotton fibre harvested production stood at a figure lower than the forecasted values provided for the subsequent years. In 2024, the expected production is 917.0 thousand metric tons, which marks the beginning of a gradual decline over the following years. By 2028, production is forecasted to decrease to 907.7 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year variation indicates a consistent small-scale reduction in output, averaging around 0.3% annually based on the last two years' trends, culminating in a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately -0.3% over the five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include potential technological advancements in agriculture that could reverse the decline, changes in domestic and global demand for cotton, as well as environmental factors such as climate change that could impact production capabilities. Additionally, policy changes, both local and international, could also play a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of Türkiye's cotton production.
