This is over 17 percent more than the per-hectare yield last year, which was 653 kg per hectare. This is also the highest per hectare yield figure for any state in the country. The national average too has improved to about 450 kg per hectare.
As a result, despite an insignificant change in the total area under cotton cultivation in Gujarat this year the production is set to grow over 22 per cent. The total area remains stagnant at 2 million hectares compared to a little over 1.9 million hectares last year.
