New data from the federal government indicates that manmade fiber consumption on the cotton system totaled 17.6 million pounds during the month of May 2026.
The figures were published by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service as part of its ongoing tracking of fiber use across the U.S. textile sector.
The report provides industry observers and agricultural stakeholders with a measure of how much manmade fiber is being processed through cotton system operations during the reporting period.
