The Cotton Association of India (CAI) has released its first estimate of the cotton crop for the ensuing season 2015-16 beginning on 1st October 2015. The CAI has placed its estimate for the season 2015-16 at 380 lakh bales of 170 kgs. each. The projected Balance Sheet drawn by the CAI estimated total cotton supply for the season 2015-16 at 470.65 lakh bales while the domestic consumption is estimated at 325 lakh bales thus leaving an available surplus of 145.65 lakh bales. A statement containing the state-wise estimates of the cotton crop and the Balance Sheet for the season 2015-16 with the corresponding data for the ongoing crop year 2014-15 is given below.
Acreage under cotton during the ensuing 2015-16 cotton season is going to be less than that of the current crop year. Yield is, however, likely to be higher during the 2015-16 crop season due to good and timely rainfall in the cotton growing areas. Therefore, the crop for the 2015-16 cotton season is expected to be similar to the cotton crop for the 2014-15 crop year.
CAI has also released its July estimate for the ongoing cotton season 2014-15 and placed the same at 382.75 bales of 170 kgs. each.
