The APTA head also said that in 2003 India's contribution for lint cotton touched to 6 million bales, whereas Pakistan's share was 11 million bales. Today in 2007, India produced 31 million bales whereas for Pakistan it remained the same.
Pakistan's cotton consumption is around 16 million bales so there is shortfall of 5 million bales. Whereas, India is running in surplus by 7 million tons. So it is very necessary for Pakistan to grow BT cotton. Then only they can fulfill thus shortfall that they are facing right now.
