In 2003, the actual cotton production started to outpace the long-term trend. Nevertheless, in 2009 production has apparently returned to the long-term trend due to 3.4% fall in yield per hectare over and above the 4% drop seen in 2008.

According to a report, taking into account the long-term average growth of 3.4%, the demand shortfall in the last two years adds up to …….. thousand tons. The report further explains that as lower priced apparel was available across the world after Chinas accession to WTO at the end of 2001, the short-term average annual growth rate even accounts for 5.2%. This annual growth rate would lead to a demand shortfall in the last two years of …….. thousand tons. ...
