| The world cotton production is projected to decline by about 10% in 2008-09, to 108.8 million bales2, mainly due to the decline in world cotton areas caused by increased competition from alternative crops. Significant portions of cotton area were diverted to grains and oilseed production due to more attractive prices than cotton. The world yield is also estimated slightly lower mainly due to unfavorable weather. The world yield is projected down to 763 kg per hectare from the record of 788 kg per hectare reached in 2007-08, and this is the second consecutive season of decline in world cotton yield (Economic Survey of Pakistan, 2008-09).
2 One cotton bale contains 480 pounds (218 kgs) of cotton. |
