India'S Cotton Surplus Is Considerable In 2012-13 Years.

< p > according to the India Cotton Association (CAI) report, in 2012-13 years, the output of cotton in India may reach about 35 million 500 thousand packets, 170 kilograms per pack, while consumption is estimated at about 26 million 500 thousand packs, so the surplus cotton will be considerable.

< p > > a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > India Cotton Association < /a > (CAI) Dhiren Sheth, speaking at the 90th anniversary conference, said that due to the delayed monsoon time and the uneven rainfall in the cotton producing area, it was feared that the cotton planting area might be lower than the previous year at the beginning of 2012-13.

< p > planting area reduced by about 3%.

However, rainfall in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh is good and the situation is changing. Now the output prospects seem optimistic.

< p > 2001-02 cotton production in India was 15 million 800 thousand packs, doubling in the past 10 years.

In addition, productivity increased from 308 kg / HA in 2001-02 to about 500 kg / HA in 2011-12 years, while the total acreage increased from 8 million 730 thousand ha to 12 million 178 thousand ha.

< p > because of the sudden increase in output, India is not only able to meet domestic demand, but also from a "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "cotton > /a" import country into a stable cotton export country.

< /p >

< p > in 2001-02, cotton contributed only 440 million rupees to India's national export earnings and increased to 140 billion rupees in 2011-12 years.

< p > today, India already has the largest cotton growing area in the world. It is the second largest cotton producing country in the world, consuming countries and < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > cotton export < /a > country.

< /p >

< p > CAI said that the main reason for the increase of cotton production in India in the past 10 years is the increase of per unit area and planting area.

< /p >

< p > however, India still lags far behind the world average yield per unit area, although India cotton yield per unit has been basically stable in the past two years.
