Cotton Advisory Board expects India's cotton output in the year started October to rise 9% to 377 lakh bales (1 bale = 170 kg) due to an increase in acreage and possibility of a high yield in Rajasthan. In 2016-17 (Oct-Sep), India's cotton output was 34.5 lakh bales. However, the farm ministry's estimate for the current season is lower at 322.7 lakh bales, compared with 330.9 lakh bales a year ago.
