A few days back, Atul Ganatra, presid­ent of the Cotton Association of India, presented a grim scenario of the crop's prospects in the 2024-25 season that starts in October. Addressing the association's annual general meeting, Ganatra said the area under the crop could go down by at least 10 per cent in the coming season due to falling yields and realisation, leading to farmers losing interest. The fear of a decline in acreage comes aga­i­nst the backdrop of India's cotton prod­uction probably falling to its lowest in a decade, accor­ding to estimates.

The average productivity of Indian farmers is around 450 kg per hectare, with some states having a productivity of around 750 kg per hectare. However, this is still lower than 1,500-2,200 kg per hectare witnessed in countries like Brazil and Australia.
