About: Countries by Cotton Production 2024
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by total cotton lint production in 2024, measured in millions of 480-pound bales according to USDA data. India and China are the world's two largest cotton producers — together accounting for approximately half of global output. Despite this production dominance, the United States remains the world's largest cotton exporter, as Chinese and Indian production is absorbed almost entirely by their own enormous domestic textile manufacturing industries, leaving US cotton to supply the global export market.
