The Southern India Mills Association (SIMA) is estimating the cotton crop at 370 to 380-lakh bales of 170 kg each at a very comfortable position during the 2017-18 cotton season.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture has also confirmed that the area under cotton in 2017-18 season has jumped to 119.88-lakh hectares from 101.72-lakh hectares in the earlier season. The crop has continued to draw significant rainfall in areas that were deficient, and this in turn could improve the crop position.
