Export demand may also rise as cotton yarn exports during fourth quarter of FY19 driven by a more than two-fold increase in exports to China, is partly attributable to the low base effect, as exports were down by 56% in the fourth quarter of FY18, it has also been driven by competitive Indian cotton and yarn prices, reports said.
