Estimate

The cotton output in Pakistan's fiscal year is about 1 million 500 thousand bales.

PCGA chairman Amanullah Kureishi said that due to the persistent high price of cotton in the international market and the domestic market in the last fiscal year, cotton growers were raising their enthusiasm for planting cotton, and the planting area of cotton planted during the planting season has risen sharply this year. The Association expects that the output of cotton will not be less than 1 million 400 thousand bales this year.
