Pakistan’s marketing year 2016/17 cotton production is forecast at 9.0 million 480 lb bales, an improvement over 2015, but low cotton prices are again expected to prompt farmers to reduce input costs, thereby keeping yields and overall production relatively low. Pakistan is again expected to be a significant cotton importer to offset lower production and meet the needs of the textile sector. Imports are forecast at 1.5 million 480 lb bales. Pakistan’s biotechnology regulatory system has begun to approve new products for the first time since 2012 and a number of new seed products are available this season.
