After a small decline in MY15/16 (Aug-Jul) because of the drought, cotton production is forecast to more than recover, reaching 207,000 bales (45,000 metric tons) in MY16/17. Meantime, due to the insufficient supplies of local cotton and the growing demand from the textile and apparel sector, cotton imports are forecast to hit a record of 64,000 bales (14,000 metric tons) in MY16/17, of which 18,000 bales (4,000 metric tons) is expected to come from the United States.
