Government restricts cotton exports to all but Canada
The agriculture department limits cotton exports to 2,000,000 bales for eight months ending March 31, with Canada shipments in addition. If kept at this rate, total non Canada exports would reach 3,000,000 bales for the 12 month season ending August 1, versus nearly 6,000,000 last year. The drop stems from a smaller crop, weather, and a crop control program. Export licenses will follow these allocations.
