Extension Of Monsoon May Delay Cotton Picking Time In India

The weather bureau predicts that

The two week extension of rainfall may lead to a reduction in cotton production in India, because continuous rainfall is ultimately not conducive to vertical crop growth, and will also lead to pests and diseases. These factors may affect yield.

India's medium and long staple cotton varieties, "Mountain card" - 6 "Shankar-6 price rose to 38000 rupees / candy (355 kg), because rainfall delays the time of cotton entering the market.

India textile industry alliance is worried about the recent rainfall or impact on cotton production in the country, and calls on the government to introduce new measures to restrict cotton exports.

Comprehensive media reported on September 13th that a textile industry organization in India was worried about the recent rainfall or impact on cotton production in the country, and called on the government to introduce new measures to restrict cotton exports.

Shishir Jaipuria, chairman of the Confederation of Indian Textile Industries, said on Monday, "it is estimated that the market entry date for the next market year beginning in October 1st will be 10-25 days longer than in previous years, as rainfall will affect the harvest of Punjab, Haryana and Andhra Pradesh cotton."

India is the second largest exporter of cotton in the world.

The decline in output and India's restrictions on cotton exports are expected to reduce the supply of cotton from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the main buyers of cotton in China.

In August, the government estimated that cotton production in 2010-11 rose to 32 million 500 thousand packages (170 kilograms per pack). However, the Textile Industry Federation of the country said it estimated that the country's cotton production declined in 2010-11, although it did not provide specific forecast data.

Although the government of India indicated in September 4th that cotton exports would not be restricted, cotton exports would be taxed only after more than 5 million 500 thousand packages.

In April this year, the country banned exports of cotton because the country's textile traders complained that the supply of cotton was tight in the country, although the country soon lifted the export ban, but the export licensing system was introduced.

But Shishir Jaipuria, chairman of the India Textile Industry Federation, wants the country to ban exports of cotton from October to December.

He said that India should only allow exports of cotton after January next year and impose a tariff of 10000 rupees per ton of cotton.

Cotton sowing in India usually takes place in the last week of May, and has been harvested (0) since September (0).

According to the data released by the meteorological department, it was the wettest month in September for the four rainy season of the year.

The delay in cotton market time is expected to keep India's domestic cotton prices from falling from the current 41000 rupee /356 kilos.

"Insufficient supply of cotton will also cause the cotton plant to postpone the commencement date."

G. Punnaiah Chowdary, chairman of the Andhra Pradesh bond Textile Association, said that in the 2010-11 year, the state's cotton output dropped by 7% to 5 million 400 thousand.

Andhra Pradesh is the third largest cotton producing area in India.

"We had expected that Andhra Pradesh's cotton production increased, but the flood has affected production."
