Cotton influx typically begins in August each year. However, in this marketing year, it started in July due to early sowing and favourable weather conditions, positively impacting the crop. This contrasts starkly with the previous year when heavy rains and floods severely affected cotton production in the main cotton-producing states.
A provincial breakdown of the data showed that Sindh province recorded cotton arrivals of 4.114 million bales from July 2023 to March 2024, which was 118.99 per cent higher than the 1,879,019 bales recorded until March 31, 2023. Meanwhile, Punjab witnessed the arrival of 4,281,779 lakh bales, compared to 3,033,050 bales as of March 31, 2023. There was very little arrival in March, as the season was ending.
