Pakistan expects around 11.2 million bales of cotton output this year

Pakistan expects 11.2 million bales of cotton output this season as compared to 10 million bales produced last year.

According to sources, the selling price of cotton seeds from Rs 3,000 to 3,200 per 40-KG encouraged farmers to cultivate cotton crops on more land and enhance the cotton production in this season,

The experts and scientists helped train more than 8,000 farmers to overcome losses of cotton crops and evolved measures against the virus which harmed the cotton crops in the past.

During the year, farmers are expecting to get good prices for the cotton crop as the increased cotton prices in international market would benefit farmers as compared to previous years when they suffered huge financial losses.

The government had set 14.1 million bales of cotton for this year which had to be revised as some of the growers in cotton producing areas opted to cultivate sugarcane crop.
