Surge in Sindhs cotton output

[Queue Farms]

The surge in Sindhs cotton output this year has more than compensated the losses seen in Punjab because of an increase in the area under cultivation and higher yields per acre obtained in some places.


Up to October 15, ginneries reported arrival of 2.231 million bales of cotton from 11 cotton producing districts of the province (plus Balochistan whose meagre output is normally clubbed together with that of Sindh), against 1.365 million bales of last year.


The big increase in production is, first of all, attributable to low output last year when cotton crop on a large area had been damaged in Sindh due to floods.
