Cotton acreage this 12 months is lower by five.seventy five for each cent at 119.sixty six lakh hectares, as for each Agriculture Ministry’s most up-to-date knowledge. “The over-all crop ailment is very good as on date and, dependent on the opinions from the ten escalating States, the produce will be a lot greater this 12 months and quality very very good,” reported Atul Ganatra, President, Cotton Affiliation of India (CAI), the apex trade body.
