ICAC’s Sources of Estimates on Cotton Supply and Use

The Secretariat of the ICAC collects historical data on cotton supply and use by country, and formulates estimates and projections for the current and following seasons. The main statistics collected include harvested area, production, consumption, trade and stocks. Yields are generally estimated by dividing production by harvested area.

The sources used by the Secretariat may change over time, and continuous efforts are made to improve and expand the pool of information. For further information on ICAC data please go to http://www.icac.org/Home/SourcesofCottonStatistics
