Cotton Prices

Cotton prices averaged USD 62.40 cents per pound in February, down 2.9% from January. On 27 February, the commodity traded at USD 63.61 cents per pound, up 0.7% from 30 January.

In February, average cotton prices dipped further below 2025’s level, remaining among the weakest since 2020. Persistently weak demand amid a market shift toward petroleum-derived synthetic fibers weighed on prices; U.S. cotton sales through 19 February were nearly 20% lower year on year.
