Post forecasts India’s 2016/17 cotton production at 26.5 million 480 lb. bales on 11 million hectares. Yields prospects are better than a year ago owing to good monsoon rains across the country. Indian cotton prices remain higher than global prices thus prompting mills to import for short-term needs.
