Upland sales down 41%, Pima demand muted in week ending Oct 30: USDA
Vietnam remained the top buyer at 14,200 RB, followed by Turkiye (10,200 RB) and India (7,100 RB). Mexico, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Japan and Indonesia contributed smaller volumes. Minor cancellations—mainly from Vietnam and South Asia—reflected mills’ sensitivity to shifting yarn demand and pricing dynamics.
US cotton export sales weakened in the week ending October 30, with Upland bookings down 41 per cent to 81,500 RB amid cautious global demand.
Vietnam and Turkiye led purchases, while shipments held steady at 146,600 RB.
Outstanding commitments remain well below last year.
Pima sales were subdued at 7,900 RB. Mills favoured short-cycle buying.
Export shipments of Upland cotton remained steady at 146,600 RB, supported by earlier contract execution. The largest shipment destinations were Vietnam, Mexico, India, Bangladesh and Nicaragua. Outstanding Upland commitments stand at 3.144 million RB, compared with 4.295 million RB a year earlier, pointing to shorter booking windows and a shift towards near-term sourcing.
Pima cotton activity was subdued. Net sales reached 7,900 RB, well below last year’s 12,300 RB, while shipments totalled 8,200 RB. No forward sales were reported, reinforcing slower momentum in the long-staple segment as luxury and high-value textile demand remains patchy.
Overall sentiment remains cautious. Mills continue to prioritise short-cycle procurement amid uneven yarn demand, currency pressure and competitive offers from alternative origins. Vietnam and Turkiye maintained steady interest, while India, Pakistan and China stayed selective—balancing domestic supply conditions, pricing parity and import needs.
Looking ahead, the pace of new sales may depend on downstream apparel order visibility, retail consumption patterns and ICE futures movement. Until clearer demand signals emerge, a buy-as-needed approach appears likely to dominate purchasing strategies moving into November.
