Cotton Association of India (CAI) trimmed cotton crop estimates for 2018-19 season to 34.8 million bales from 36.5 million bales in 2017-18. Cotton sowing was reported at 12.06 million hectares for 2018-19 compared to 12.17 million hectare last year, according to Central government data.
Moreover, Gujarat, the largest cotton growing state reported 9 million bales of cotton for 2018-19 crop season against 10.5 million bales in the last year while Maharashtra sees the decline at 8.1 million bales compared to 8.3 million bales a year ago.
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.
The drop in output could limit exports from the world’s biggest producer of the fibre amid rising demand from top consumer China and in turn support global prices, which are hovering near their lowest level in more than nine months hit last week.
