COTTON

Cotton yesterday settled up by 1.87% at 34800 as the rates of the natural fiber are rising this season due to a drastic fall in production. Cotton traders ascribed the phenomenon to a drastic drop in cotton yields coinciding with a negligible carry-forward stock of the previous year in India and an empty pipeline of the domestic cotton ginning and spinning industry. The cotton arrivals in APMCs are almost half as compared to normal years even as demand from the domestic ginning and spinning industry is high as its raw material pipeline was empty due to almost nil carry-forward stock of the previous year. A drastic reduction in the country’s cotton production can play spoilsport for the its export target of 60 lakh bales (each bale is 170 kg pressed ginned cotton). Industry insiders said that this year exports will be around 30-35 lakh bales as domestic prices and shortage is likely to play spoilsport throughout the season. As against the estimate of 340-345 lakh bales industry experts say that the production is in the range of 300-315 lakh bales during this season. Given the short supply and bullish prices, farmers are holding on to their crop with the markets reporting the arrival of just 125 lakh bales till date.
