Turkish seed cotton output is expected to fall 38% year on year to 1.2 million metric tonnes in 2026, according to TurkStat. Drought and higher costs led farmers in Söke, Aydın, to cut cotton acreage by about 60%.
Türkiye suffered its worst drought in more than 50 years last year, and analysts say the recent recovery in dam levels may be temporary.
A sharp drop in Turkish cotton output reduces whole cottonseed and cottonseed meal supply from a key producer, which is mildly bullish for those feed inputs.
