The forecast for cottonseed production in China shows a consistent year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 9.0757 million metric tons in 2024, production is expected to decrease to 8.4254 million metric tons by 2028. The downward trend equates to a year-on-year reduction of approximately 1.8% to 2.2%. Compared to the previous two years, this continues the declining trend observed. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five forecasted years is about -1.7% per year.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in agricultural technology, governmental agricultural policies, impacts of climate change, and shifts in global cotton demand which could affect production rates and possibly mitigate the forecasted declines.
