Abstract: Cotton is one of the most important fiber crops playing essential role in the history of mankind and civilization. It is called as ‘White gold’, due to its agricultural and industrial economic importance. Cotton is mainly grown for its fibers, which are used in textile industry. Exponential growth function was employed to estimate growth rates during the period from 2001-02 to 2020-21 in the major cotton-producing countries worldwide, namely India, USA, Egypt, and China. The results found that, during last two decades, only India has achieved positively higher growth rate in cotton area, production and productivity, but USA, China and Egypt shown declining trend, and at world level, it remained almost stagnant, with lower growth in production and yield. Worldwide growth dynamics helps in better understanding of global trade and also helps in worldwide policy making.
