# 80% Reduction in Sudanese Cotton Harvest

> Sudanese cotton output has reportedly fallen about 80% this season after pests, including cotton mealybug and bacterial blight, damaged the crop. The loss also reduces supplies of cottonseed, cottonseed meal and cottonseed oil. Sudan is a modest exporter of these by-products, mainly to China, Egypt and Turkey.

## Why it matters

Because Sudan's by-product exports are small, the effect on global cottonseed meal supply and prices is limited, though it trims regional export availability.
