Description

Excerpt from Foreign Agriculture, Vol. 2: A Review of Foreign Farm Policy, Production, and Trade; August, 1938 Prior to the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the United States supplied practically all of the cotton consumed by Russian textile mills. In the eighties, Russians began to grow cotton from American Upland seed, and production in Central Asia and Transcaucasia increased considerably. In 1890, the United States supplied 3751000 bales, 1/ more than 60 percent of the Russian mill consumption. 2/ During the next two decades, Russian mill consumption increased and, whereas the amount of cotton supplied by the United States in 1910 totaled bales, it constituted only 36 percent of total consumption. Of the average Russian mill con sumption of bales during the 5 years preceding the World War, bales, or more than half, were grown in the irrigated regions of Russian Central Asia and Transcaucasia and the rest imported, largely from the United States. During the World War and revolution that followed, Russian cotton growing as a commercial industry ceased to exist. Production by 1922 had fallen off to only 31 000 bales, grown on acres scattered in tiny patches throughout Central Asia and Transcaucasia. Beginning with this insignificant acreage, cotton growing in Russia has been reconstructed under the control of the Government itself, which from the outset strove to supply the needs of its textile industry as far as possible with domes tically grown cotton. By 1928-29, cotton consumption was equal to the pre-war level of bales, of which about two-thirds was domestically grown. See table 1.
