ICE cotton dips as traders await USDA reportsICE cotton futures eased on Thursday ahead of a monthly supply and demand report, with some traders expecting the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to raise its estimate for US supply in the report.The USDA’s keenly awaited World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimate (WASDE) report is due on Friday.Peter Egli, director of risk management at British merchant Plexus Cotton, said the USDA could raise its estimate for US output as current conditions pointed to a good crop.“Supplies are tight now and shipments are being delayed in a lot of places, but supply is going to start to stream in about one to two months and then we will see how quickly we can satisfy demand,” Egli said.The USDA’s weekly crop progress report on Tuesday showed 61% of the cotton crop was in a good-to-excellent condition in the week ended Sept. 5. That was down from 70% in the prior week, but still well above the 44% for the same period a year ago.Market participants were also looking ahead to the USDA’s weekly export sales report on Friday. The report was delayed due to the Labor Day holiday.“The global economy is weakening and we have to see what that means for demand going forward,” Egli said.

*Cotton and paddy crops in 3,607 acres inundated**Although rains have abated during the day in most parts of the old undivided Khammam district on Wednesday, the heavy rains that lashed Khammam and Bhadradri-Kothagudem districts in the last few days led to inundation of cotton and paddy crops in little over 3,607 acres in both the districts.**As per the preliminary estimates by the Agriculture Department, crops including paddy and cotton in around 1,887 acres were damaged in Bhadradri-Kothagudem district, affecting as many as 1,393 farmers.

Cotton growers, agri dept on toes as pink bollworm pest spreads tentacles in south PunjabCotton growers in south Punjab are a worried lot these days as pink bollworm infestation has been reported in more areas ahead of the main harvesting period of the kharif crop starting next week.According to the state agriculture department, all 14 blocks of Bathinda and Mansa, the two biggest cotton-producing districts of Punjab, have reported the pest attack. A total of 3.25 lakh hectares is under cotton cultivation in Punjab. Nearly 5% of the area under the crop in Bathinda (96,000 hectares) and Mansa (65,000 hectares) is under the pest attack.Agriculture officials said presently there is no serious threat to cotton production. The maiden picking of the three-picking cycle of cotton is expected to begin after September 15 whereas farmers have started harvesting in the early-sown fields.BT cotton is resistant to American bollworm, but experts say it is susceptible to the pink bollworm as has been seen in Maharashtra, Gujarat and now in Punjab for the second consecutive year.Sources said last year, traces of pink bollworm were found in few pockets of 20 villages in Bathinda and Mansa but in the last few weeks, the pest’s presence is felt in the larger area of the cotton belt.Experts and the agriculture department blame oil mills, cotton ginning units and a section of villagers for ignoring the laid-down protocol to avoid the pest.“Our teams have started holding awareness and field inspection camps and the task in both districts would be completed by Saturday. At present, the economic threshold level of the pest is within permissible limits,” said Singh, who also is in charge of Mansa.Economic threshold level is pest density at which control measures should be applied to prevent increasing pest population.Agriculture development officer Ajaypal Brar said the permissible limit is five adults per cotton ball or flower and the initial inputs suggest in the most area the infestation is not critical.“The next 15-20 days are crucial to containing the infestation. Farmers have been advised for regular inspection of fields and go for spray only if the pest infestation is beyond ETL,” said Brar.Sharanjit Singh, a progressive farmer from Mansa’s Mann Khera village, said cotton growers were hoping for a remunerative season due to high prices being offered by traders but the pest attack in the region is a cause of concern.“Farmers should have completely removed cotton straw, which is used as firewood or consumed to energise brick kilns completely from the fields. Now, the use of additional sprays of pesticides means an avoidable increase in the cost of production,” he added.
PAKISTAN COTTON MARKET UPDATEModerate trading activity on cotton marketThe local market on Monday remained stable and trading volume remained low. The Spot Rate remained unchanged at Rs 13900 per maund. The Polyester Fiber was available at Rs 222 per kg. Cotton Analyst Naseem Usman Business Recorder that the reason behind low trading volume is rains in the cotton growing areas of Sindh and Punjab due which the supply of Phutti was effected.The rate of cotton in Sindh is in between Rs 13500 to Rs 14000 per maund and the rate of cotton in Punjab is in between Rs 13800 to Rs 14100 per maund. The rate of the new crop of Phutti in Sindh was in between Rs 5500 to Rs 6100 per 40 kg. The rate of Phutti in Punjab is in between Rs 5700 to Rs 6200 per 40 kg. The rate of Banola in Sindh is in between Rs 1600 to Rs 1750 per maund. The rate of Banola in Punjab is in between Rs 1700 to Rs 1800 per maund. The rate of cotton in Balochistan is Rs 13700 to Rs 13800 per maund. The rate of Phutti in Balochistan is Rs 6300- 6900 per maund.Market intelligence attributes the variance to a combination of under reporting by ginners and GoP's romance for cotton's glorious past, but that lament has received sufficient attention in this space (and not nearly enough by the government). The net result, however, is that estimates by everyone lose credibility, and add to uncertainty in the market.
