Discussion
The red line shows actual weekly exports through the past week of the 2009/10 marketing year (converted from running bales into 480 lb. statistical bales). The blue line
shows the level of exports of all U.S. cotton (i.e., upland
and pima) required to meet the USDA September projection of 10.5 million statistical bales by July 31, 2010. For the week ending October 29, 2009, total export shipments of upland and pima for the week were 198,700 running bales (or 206.650 statistical bales) which is just barely below the needed shipments per week to reach USDA's marketing year export target (i.e., the blue line above).
