As both the Agriculture and Textile ministries have an interest in the cotton crop, the Cotton Advisory Board (CAB) has set up a sub-committee that will work jointly to lay out a roadmap to ensure sustainable cotton production, according to a senior official in the Ministry of Textiles.
This follows concerns that actual cotton production could turn out to be lesser than estimates. Industry sources here said that in its previous meeting, the CAB had estimated that the cotton production this season (October 2015-September 2016) would touch 352 lakh bales.
