Global production falls by over 470,000 bales to 117.5 million bales, while global consumption drops by 335,000 bales to 122.7 million.

## Why it matters

Lower production offers some price support, but the bigger downward revisions to consumption point to weak mill demand, which limits how far cotton prices can rise and reduces demand for cottonseed meal in feed markets.
