Cotton is considered as a very significant agricultural product in a sense that cotton production offers substantial income returns to farmers, to textile employees and to a large number of intermediaries suppliers and users. Cotton production, trade and process attracts the concerns of European policy since EU imports substantial quantities of cotton for its textile industry and two of its members, Greece and Spain are important cotton producers. Nevertheless, the status of the cotton sector is challenged as EU policies are adjusted towards an abolishment of the current protective regime. In this work an outlook of the world cotton trends is portrayed and the cotton's prospective in the integrated European agriculture are investigated taking into account anticipated CAP reforms.
