Tanzania's cotton production has been adversely affected by on going drought.
Anticipated cotton production has dropped considering the recent attack of armyworms on the crops.
Several cotton areas have registered a considerable decline due to worm attack.
Government is taking major steps to control this problem.
Analysts predicted cotton lint production to decline to 107,100 tons of during the 2005-06 season, nine percent lower than 10,821 tons in 2004-05 season.
However, incentives and other generally positive developments within the agriculture sector are expected to aid cotton farmers in Tanzania to rise up again.
Thus, during the 2006-07 marketing season, production is forecasted 120,000 tons of lint.
