Cotton exports may miss target
Cotton exports from the country are likely to miss the target this season as production has been hit by unseasonal rains in Gujarat and Maharashtra and floods in Andhra Pradesh, according to a senior official of the Union ministry of textiles.
Punjab missed cotton sowing target by 10 percent due to 50 percent canal irrigation water shortage and delayed wheat harvesting this season, Director General Punjab Agriculture Extension Services Dr Anjum Ali told Business Recorder here on Thursday.
