Cotton sowing has reached a record high of about 120 lakh hectares in the country during the ongoing kharif season on the back of good rainfall in key growing regions.

Cotton’s natural benefits and improved manufacturing practices are enabling it to penetrate into high performance and active wear markets.

The consistently high cotton prices in India in 2016-17, and which is still continuing in this financial year, will encourage Indian farmers to grow more this year.
