Cotton output likely to touch a record 35.2 million bales for 2011-12

The estimates of cotton output may be revised upwards in the third estimates of the Agriculture Ministry. It is expected that cotton output may rise from the earlier estimate of 34 million bales to 35.2 million bales for the current marketing year.

‘The cotton production has slightly improved and it is expected to touch an all-time record of 35.2 million bales this year,’ a senior Agriculture Ministry said.

Cotton, a predominantly monsoon (kharif) season crop, is planted from the end of April through September and harvested from October. The Agriculture Ministry releases four advance estimates at different stages of crop growth. In its second advance estimate, cotton production was pegged at 34 million bales for the ongoing 2011-12 marketing year ending September.

However, now it is expected that the production might improve by 3.5% and touch a record 35.2 million bales. One bale contains 170 kg of cotton. The country's two-thirds of cotton are produced in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Orissa where much of the crop is rain fed.
