Cotton Supply Outlook ImprovesWASHINGTON - Aug 11/06 - SNS -- World cotton supply is expected to be more ample than thought last month, according to the latest supply and demand outlook developed by the USDA's World Agricultural Outlook Board. With higher production in India and Greece, revisions to the world 2006-07 balance sheet result in higher ending stocks compared with last month. Beginning stocks are reduced in the United States and India, but raised in China, Australia, Mexico, and Pakistan. These adjustments, which are mainly due to trade adjustments for 2005-06, reduce world beginning stocks by about 500,000 bales. India's production is raised 1.0 million bales from last month, as favorable monsoon rains are expected to boost both area and yield. World consumption and trade are virtually unchanged. The lower U.S. export forecast is nearly offset by higher exports from India and Greece. World ending stocks are raised nearly 2% from last month.
