Cotton acreage News
Cotton acreage has risen to 71.82 lakh hectares as against 67.89 lakh hectares. Jute area is down to 6.95 lakh hectares from 7.27 lakh hectares.
India's cotton production is expected to decline for the second consecutive year to 37.5 million bales in 2015-16 marketing season, due to a likely fall in yields on account of delayed sowing, weather and low price realisation, according to USDA's latest report.
