MUMBAI (Commoditiescontrol) - The Cotton Association of India (CAI) has released its first estimate of the cotton crop for the ensuing season 2015-16 beginning on 1st October 2015. The CAI has pegged domestic cottong production during the 2015-16 at 380 lakh bales of 170 kgs each.
The projected Balance Sheet drawn by the CAI estimated total cotton supply for the season 2015-16 at 470.65 lakh bales while the domestic consumption is estimated at 325 lakh bales thus leaving an available surplus of 145.65 lakh bales.
CAI expected acreage under cotton during the ensuing 2015-16 cotton season to be less than that of the current crop year. However, it expects higher yield during the 2015-16 crop season due to good and timely rainfall in the cotton growing areas. Therefore, the crop for the 2015-16 cotton season is expected to be similar to the cotton crop for the 2014-15 crop year.
CAI has also released its July estimate for the ongoing cotton season 2014-15 and placed the same at 382.75 bales of 170 kgs each.
Meanwhile, as per CAI, the cotton arrivals in the country was 379.25 Lakh bales as of 31st July 2015.
