With little movement in prices, cotton acreage in California will drop by about 35% in 2025, with almost all of the drop being pima acreage. According to the preliminary planting intentions survey conducted by the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association over the past month, the Association is currently estimating approximately 93,600 acres of pima, and about 22,690 acres of upland statewide for the 2025 cotton season plus or minus 10%. This survey is based on surveys from all the gins in California and things could change when the final field surveys are completed by CDFA. This is a total estimated cotton acreage for California of 116,290 acres. If it plays out, it will represent a 35% decrease in pima acreage and relatively no change in upland acreage in California as compared to 2024. Again, this is preliminary, but reflects what all gins are reporting.
