CAI trimmed 2018-19 cotton output to 33.5 million bales of 170 kg each as farmers have uprooted nearly 70% plants in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Telangana due to moisture stress.
CAI lowered Gujarat’s cotton crop estimate by 150,000 bales and Maharashtra and Telangana by 200,000 bales each. India is likely to produce 33.5 million bales of cotton in the 2018/19 season that started on Oct. 1, down 1.5 percent from an earlier estimate, a leading trade body said.
The world’s biggest cotton producer had harvested 36.5 million bales in the previous season. “Farmers have uprooted cotton plants on about 70 to 80 percent area due to moisture deficiency and now there is no scope for third and fourth picking,” Atul Ganatra, president of the Cotton Association of India, told.
