Prices have risen to a 25 year high.

On the ICE futures exchange, cotton prices are now 93.73 cents per pound, up 24% this year, the highest level since October 1995.


Lawson, managing director of LOGIC Advisors, a commodities consultancy, said (Ronald Lawson)

demand

The problem of supply is always increasing.


According to the US Department of agriculture, global cotton consumption is expected to exceed its output this year, which will further reduce cotton stocks.

From the supply side, Pakistan, the world's largest cotton grower, has suffered a serious reduction in flood. India has recently imposed a prohibitive tax on cotton exports to protect domestic textile manufacturers.


The rise of cotton prices

Economic recovery

This is a positive signal, because it is the most important economic indicator in all commodities.


From a package of cottonseed to a T-shirt, it takes about 18 months to go through such stages as planting, gin, spinning and weaving.


Lawson said that no other raw material was time-consuming and affected by so many factors.
