Difference: +1.00 million bales Surplus

Mexico:
Estimated cotton supply: 1.28 million bales
Estimated cotton demand: 1.95 million bales
Difference: -0.67 million bales deficit

China:
Estimated cotton supply: 27.00 million bales
Estimated cotton demand: 37.00 million bales
Difference: -10.50 million bales deficit

Turkey:
Estimated cotton supply: 3.50 million bales
Estimated cotton demand: 7.90 million bales
Difference: -4.40 million bales (significant deficit)

Pakistan:
Estimated cotton supply: 6.50 million bales
Estimated cotton demand: 10.00 million bales
Difference: -3.50 million bales (significant deficit)

Bangladesh:
