Cotton sowing area increases in Pakistan

During the current sowing season, Pakistan cotton cultivation witnessed a 18 per cent increase across the crop growing areas as compared to the sowing during the corresponding period of the last year.

Overall, the cotton crop has been cultivated over 59 per cent area of the total targeted areas set for the current sowing season.

So far cotton crop has been cultivated over 1.54 million hectares of land in Punjab whereas the Sindh province had put around 0.299 million hectares of land under cotton crop cultivation.

Cotton has been cultivated over 1.84 million hectares across the crop growing areas of the country as against the set target of 3.11 million hectares.

Due to favorable weather conditions, the availability of certified seeds and other crop inputs, it is expected that the targeted areas for the current sowing season would be achieved.

Agriculture experts from Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were provided three months’ training in order to bring the potential areas under cotton production to enhance the local crop output. The Federal Committee on Cotton had fixed cotton production targets at 14 million bales during the current crop sowing season.

Punjab had achieved 63.5 per cent crop sowing targets set for the current season whereas Sindh was able to achieve 46 per cent area of the total cultivable land.
