India: Cotton and Products Update - July 2021

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IN2021-0088

FAS Mumbai (Post) forecasts market year (MY) 2021/2022 cotton production at 29 million (480 lb.) bales on an area of 12.9 million hectares. Kharif cotton planting is now underway in central and southern India as the two-week monsoon delay has been followed by intense rains across the major cotton producing states. With market arrivals slowing, seed cotton prices are rising. Mill consumption is good at 25.5 million (480 lb.) bales buoyed by strong export orders, and the recent government announcement of a three-year extension of the Rebate of State and Central taxes and Levies (ROSCTL) scheme for the export of apparel/garments and made-ups.
