Tightening World Cotton PictureWASHINGTON - Mar 9/07 - SNS -- Residual supplies of cotton on world markets continue to look smaller than originally thought because of better than expected demand, according to the latest USDA supply and demand updates from the World Agricultural Outlook Board. "With marginally higher world production offset by higher consumption, a reduction in this month's 2006-07 ending stocks mainly reflects slightly lower beginning stocks," the USDA said. An increase in India production is partially offset by reductions for Australia and some African Franc Zone countries. Consumption is also raised for India but lowered for Pakistan. China imports are reduced 1.5 million bales to 14.0 million, reflecting lower-than- expected imports for January and continued postponement of the government's release of import quotas.
