# Turkey's cotton import forecast rises 6% as its crop estimate falls

> USDA's November Cotton World Markets and Trade report raises Turkey's 2026/27 cotton import forecast by 300,000 bales to 5.3 million. The same report cuts Turkish production by 350,000 bales and ending stocks by 50,000, with domestic use unchanged at 6.8 million.

## Why it matters

The higher imports mainly replace lost domestic supply rather than reflect stronger mill demand, so the net effect on global cotton and cottonseed balances is modest. The main impact is on Turkish sourcing and trade flows.
