The cotton crop for the season 2013-14, that commenced this month, is expected at 381 lakh bales, as per the report compiled by The Cotton Association of India (CAI) in its third estimate. The annual cotton season begins from the month of October every year and ends in September. One bale of cotton is equal to 170 kg.
There was delay in arrivals of seed cotton due to late rains but the available moisture is likely to help increase yields and result in a larger than estimated crop. CAI expects of a better crop if the monsoon withdraws during the next few days.
The output is expected to be good at 207.50 bales especially in the central region comprising Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, compared to 173.75 bales last year. Earlier, CAI had placed the cotton crop for the season 2012-13 at 356.75 lakh bales.
