Cotton a risk crop, increasing pressure to certify, says Control Union
Losing Lustre India’s overall cotton production of over 360 lakh bales (about 6.12 million tonnes, mt) accounts for around 25% of the global output. The production of organic cotton in India is 1.23 mt, which is 51% of global organic cotton production of 2.40 mt. pxhere.com
