There are reports of good export demand and lower pace of kharif sowing in the country. The domestic cotton acreage dipped 24% to 5.46 million hectare on late arrivals of rains in major cotton producing states like Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
Moreover, inadequate and sporadic rainfall in West Texas region is probably causing damage to the sown seedling crops or might eventually reduce acreage under cotton. Market participants will keenly watch out for US acreage under cotton and Indian sowing status since supply scenario of these two countries will determine the market trend in the near-term.
