With cotton crop able to fetch relatively higher prices in 2016-17 and is expected to sustain remuneration levels in the current fiscal as demand for cotton, especially by mills, is also rising and is likely to result in a consistent fall in year-end stocks of cotton, according to the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC). Farmers are likely to increase acreage under cotton, resulting in higher output going forward.
