356,000 tons, an increase of 296.6% y/y ;From September 2011 to June
2012, China imported a total of 4.729 million tons of cotton, an

According
to the research of the China Cotton Network reporters in major ports,
Peak season for foreign cotton was outdated . And the import quotas for
textile companies basically run out. Cotton imports will be reduced in
the late of this year. However, now the spread between domestic cotton
and foreign cotton is still large, since July remained at the level of
4000 yuan / ton, textile companies are still tend to foreign cotton. So
in the next two months, cotton import volume reduction will be limited.
Based
on historical data from 2003 to 2010, the average cotton imports in
July and August were 207,000 tons and 221,000 tons. The data reached its
maximum in July and August of 2005,up to 290,000 tons and 286,000ton

year. The data may be higher than the average, may even beyond 2005, is
expected to not less than 30 tons. China’s total cotton imports this
year is expected to reach about 5.3 million tons, to make an new record.
