Pakistan has managed to produce in total 11.485 million bales up to Feb 15, as against 10.685m bales in last season and 7.49 percent more cotton this season (2017-18) over the corresponding period last year.
The nominal increase in cotton production is a strong indication that the crop continues to face multiple issues —including less cultivation area and lack of research and development — for the last three consecutive seasons.
