India’s cotton sowing area decreased to 111.386 lakh hectares as of August 22 this year, down from 122.742 lakh hectares in the same period last year.
Major cotton-producing states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Punjab reported significant reductions due to pest infestations and other challenges.
Recovery in the acreage is unlikely.
