摘要：

The Mexican cotton sector is facing a myriad of challenges, resulting in significant impacts to production in marketing year 2020/21, while COVID-19 demand reductions and supply chain impacts in the textile industry are likely to continue through 2021. Seeds shortages due to lack of genetically engineered (GE) seed approvals persist, and a glyphosate import ban is likely to affect pest protection in the near future, as existing stocks are dwindling down. Additionally, electricity cuts are affecting irrigation machinery and access to water for producers in Chihuahua State, the country’s largest producer. Reductions in production are likely to be fully recovered by domestic supply stocks, as lowered global and domestic textile demand has relieved pressure for imports.
