Fu Stone Group noted that the demand for Indian cotton could see a significant boost as Pakistan’s cotton production faces severe damage from recent floods. With Pakistan, the world's fourth-largest cotton producer, suffering extensive crop losses, India is expected to benefit from increased global demand. According to Commodity Risk Intelligence, the recent flood disaster in Pakistan has destroyed approximately 30% of its cotton crops, creating a supply gap that may be filled by Indian suppliers. Over the past year, New York cotton prices have surged by 27%, and with the upcoming harvest season still months away, prices are expected to remain at historic highs for the remainder of the year. Pakistani traders have reported a surge in inquiries from anxious business owners seeking alternative cotton sources. In response, the Indian spot market has seen a rise in cotton prices, driven by increased activity from both domestic and international buyers. Notably, demand from neighboring Pakistan has spiked, as importers look to secure supplies amid growing uncertainty. This shift highlights the growing importance of India as a reliable cotton supplier in the region, especially during times of crisis. The situation underscores the vulnerability of global cotton markets to climate-related disruptions and the potential for India to capitalize on this opportunity in the coming months.
