The production of cotton is expected to touch around 345 lakh bales during 2016-17 as compared to around 338 lakh bales produced in 2015-16 crop year. Cotton Association of India (CAI) expects that on account of better weather conditions across all cotton growing regions of the country there will be an improvement in productivity.
Cotton production fell to about 386 lakh bales in 2014-15 which had earlier reached a record high of over four crore bales during the 2013-14 crop year. The production declined further during the 2015-16 crop year to around 338 lakh bales, the lowest during the last five years. This drastic reduction in the crop during 2015-16 was mainly due to the white-fly attack especially in the northern region.
The acreage under cotton is expected to go down to about 105 lakh hectare during 2016-17 from 118.77 lakh hectares during 2015-16, as per the latest estimates of the Directorate of Cotton Development (DOCD).
