Bangladesh asks India to commit 15 lakh bales of cotton each year
Bangladesh has asked India to commit 15 lakh bales of cotton each year to its fast-growing garments industry.
Pakistan is likely to miss the cotton production target of 15 million bales set for 2012-13 and is likely to harvest no more than 13.5 million bales because of a decrease in sowing area as well as flash floods in major crop production areas of Sindh and Punjab.
