Market Intelligence
Built for Execution,
Not Consensus
Markets don't trade on official numbers alone.
Our global cotton production intelligence combines proprietary supply and demand modelling with USDA data, enhanced by real-time market insight from our network and live trade-flow monitoring. This allows us to surface shifts in production, stocks, and availability earlier—and more accurately—than consensus data.
Why Consensus Data Falls Short
Official production estimates lag reality. By the time USDA revisions hit, markets have often already moved. Traders relying solely on public data are trading yesterday's information.

Cotton Crop Calendar
Cotton production operates on a global cycle, with planting and harvesting seasons varying by region. Understanding these patterns is critical for market timing, supply forecasting, and procurement strategy.
Market Intelligence: The staggered global production cycle creates natural supply dynamics that inform pricing, availability, and strategic procurement windows. LCB's production intelligence tracks these patterns in real-time, identifying opportunities before they're reflected in consensus data.
Calendar Design: The single cotton-coloured scheme (light for planting, dark for harvesting) prioritises timing clarity over regional distinction.
