CAI: India's cotton output at 353 lakh bales

The Cotton Association of India (CAI) has said that the country's cotton output is estimated to be 353 lakh bales for the 2015-16 season which began on October 1.
It is down almost 30 lakh bales from the total output for the 2014-15 crop year which stood at 382.75 lakh bales, the CAI said.
The fall in output is largely due to whitefly pest attack in Punjab and Haryana. Cotton output in the northern zone during the 2015-16 season is estimated at 42.25 lakh bales, down from 53.50 lakh bales last year, it said.
According to the CAI's projections, India's estimated cotton supply for 2015-16 season is 440.6 lakh bales with an estimated domestic consumption of 315 lakh bales which leaves a surplus of 125.60 lakh bales.

CAI：印度棉花产量为3530万包

印度棉花协会（CAI）已表示,于10月1日开始的2015-2016棉季，该国的棉花产量估计为3530万包。

与2014-2015年度3827.5万包的总产量相比，下跌了近300万包,CAI说。

总产量大幅度下降主要由于旁遮普省和哈里亚纳邦受到白粉虱的侵袭。北部区2015-2016棉季棉花产量预估为422.5包，相比去年535包的产量有所下降。

根据CAI预测,2015-2016棉季预计印度棉花供应为4406万包,估计国内消费3150万包，剩余1256万包。
