At a glance


  • Tanzania’s 2025 crop outlook points to ~180,000 tons, with TMX auctions increasing visibility for buyers.
  • India expected to remain active at CFR $450–470, though elections and policy stability weigh on import sentiment.

Panelists Samir Ismail of Afrisian Ginning (Tanzania), Binod Agarwal of SGR AK Agri (India), and Jay Saraff of Mandala Trading (Australia), together with moderator Faisal Anis Majeed Bumbia of Bombi’s Group (Pakistan), shared sharp perspectives on workable price ranges, policy stability in India, competition between African and Australian origins, and Ramadan-driven demand in Pakistan.
