| Mills seek ban on cotton exports | 11-NOV-09 |
|
| “The actual cotton production would slip to 26 million bales (one bale is 165 kg) this year, as against 29 million bales produced during the last season due to drought and floods in all major cotton-growing states. Of the production during 2009-10 season, only around 16 million bales are expected to be of above average quality. If this cotton is exported as against the domestic requirement of 24 million bales, the Indian textile industry would lose its competitive edge in the global market,” R K Agarwal, member of Sima, and chairman of AP Spinning Mills Association, told reporters here on Tuesday. |
