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 November 5, 2009, total export shipments of upland and pima for the week were 124,300 running bales (or 129,270 statistical bales) which is below the needed shipments per week to reach USDA's marketing year export target (i.e., the blue line above).
