FAS Mumbai (Post) forecasts marketing year (MY) 2021/2022 cotton production at 28 million 480 lb. bales on an area of 12.4 million hectares. Planted area fell by nearly 5 percent compared to last year, but yields are expected to improve to 492 kilograms per hectare. MY 2021/22 mill consumption is forecast to increase to 26 million 480 lb. bales thanks to strong export demand for cotton yarn and textile products.
