IBNS-CMEDIA: U.S. upland cotton exports to India have seen a sharp increase in recent months, driven by falling American cotton prices, escalating global tariff disputes, and a surge in demand from India, Reuters reported, citing industry experts.

According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), exports to India between February and April rose to 155,260 running bales—up from 25,901 bales in the same period last year.

Weekly exports peaked during the week of February 20, reaching their highest level in over two and a half years.
