The total seasonal arrival of cotton in India has dropped by 19% so far this year as compared to arrivals during the same period last year and this is because of the dull demand from domestic mills and increased holding capacity among farmers.
By the end of January 2016, the country's total seasonal cotton arrival was about 17.02 million bales (a bale of 170 kg) as compared to 21 million bales by the end of January 2015.
However, as compared to the total estimated cotton production of 36 million bales, the arrivals of 17.02 million bales forms around 47% of the output.
