Record cotton output forecast for 2013-14 in India

摘要

The Cotton Advisory Board (CAB) of India, which estimates cotton production, consumption, export and import of the country, has forecast that India's cotton production for the period from October 2013 to September 2014 would be about 37.5 million bales of 170 kg each, setting a new record. The all-time-high output is expected despite the area under cotton being smaller compared with last season as the yield per hectare is likely to increase, explains CAB.
