Globalisation has yielded better opportunities for increasing the export of Indian yarns (with quality attributes meeting the requirements of foreign buyers). In the light of this, the future requirements of cotton and the extent of increase in cotton productivity required for India to become self-sufficient assumes significance. In this report, an attempt has been made to project the cotton requirements at the terminal year of the 12th five year plan (2016-17). The report is divided into two parts. Part I deals with quantitative requirement of cotton in the year 2016-17 and Part II deals with qualitative requirements. The quality requirements of cotton for different count groups are also illustrated in this report.
