Trade war and India’s lowered cotton output are enablers for new market opportunities for United States’ cotton in India. Arun Sekhsaria, Director of Mumbai-based Cotton Association of India (CAI) who was visiting the United States to explore different business opportunities spoke about the potential growth opportunities in cotton trade between United States and India, and  provided an optimistic picture.

 

Arun Sekhsaria was present at the meeting between the USDA representative in India and the CAI officials during the last week in April that has led to the downward revision of India’s production estimate by USDA. USDA’s official estimate is now at 32.5 million bales (325 lakh bales of 170 kg each).http://www.indiantextilejournal.com/News.aspx?nId=QLKUiYL4YoOyE0FAYwGhZQ==&NewsType=India-shaping-to-be-market-for-US-cotton-India-Sector
