    Indian Cotton
 
  The Indian cotton industry is at a very important threshold. The world has started recognising the quality of Indian raw cotton fibre and is buying more and more fibre from India. The industry has taken rapid steps by introducing upgraded technology ginning machines, adopting BT seeds, employing better picking and ginning practices. This was lead in improvement in the areas of trash, contamination, consistency and uniformity.

From 2004-2005, the crop in India has seen phenomenal growth in productivity terms due to the use of BT seeds and good monsoon. Despite this, India's productivity per hectare is amongst the lowest in the world which makes it the country with highest acreage but still 2nd  largest producer. This leaves it with a major scope of expansion and increased importance in world. Crop is expected to be 4.75 million tonnes. In 2007-08, a 10% higher crop is expected and a total 30.0 million bales (of 170 Kgs. each) is expected.

India has exported 4.70 million bales in 2005-06 and is 5.5 millions bales in 2006-07.

India has the following varieties of raw cotton available in different locations :
