MESSAGE
Cotton accounts for 40% of the total global fibre production and is the most important
fibre in the world. India is a major player with world cotton market in terms of area and
production. India is now the second largest cotton producer, consumer and exporter in the
world. Cotton covers around 7% of the total crop coverage and is second to rice in India.
Cotton textile is one of the largest industries in India. It provides livelihood of 60 million
people depend on cotton cultivation, processing trade and textiles. Textile industry
contributes 4% of GDP, 14% of total industrial product, 20% of total work force, 17% of
country's exports earning and employment to 30 million people.
Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture launched Technology Mission of
Cotton (TMC) in the year 2000 with a set objectives. The impact of4 Mini Missions ofTMC
brought a revolution in Indian cotton in the area of technology generation, increase in
productivity, technology transfer, reducing cost of cultivation & use of pesticides,
improvement in marketing infrastructure & improvement in quality ofIndian cotton.
Publication of the book "Cotton statistics at a glance" is a significant step in
documentation of all the cotton related statistics which reflects the progress of cotton sector
at all India level as well as across the cotton growing states. The present publication will be
very helpful to all those who are associated with cotton research, production, marketing,
processing & policy making.
I appreciate the efforts made by the Director , DOCD, Mumbai and Director, NCIPM,
New Delhi their team of officials for compiling and presenting the cotton statistics in a
systematic manner.

PREFACE
Cotton is an important sector of Indian Agriculture, in respect to share in National
GDP export earning, employment generation. The Directorate of Cotton Development under
the aegis of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture is looking
after the developmental aspect of cotton sector and coordinate with all the cotton stake
holders for its further improvement by way of implementing mini mission -II of technology
mission on Cotton.
It gives me the great pleasure in bringing out the publication " Cotton Statistics at a
Glance" for the use by those who are directly or indirectly involved in cotton development
activities. The book containing the All India data on cotton area, production, yield,
consumption pattern, import, export, world cotton scenario, MSP and others will be very
much helpful for day to day references and other official purposes. The book also contain
state-wise cotton statistics data i.e. area, production yield, district I variety wise area,
production, yield, cost of cultivation, Bt cotton varieties I hybrids, etc. which will help to
understand the cotton scenario of individual state in a better manner. Accordingly
developmental plan can be formulated in a particular state I District.
This directorate is thankful to various state Department of Agriculture, CABI, CCI,
DES, CAl, CITI and other organizations for providing the tabulated data in the respective
sector. Director and staff of this Directorate is also grateful to Secretary, Agriculture and
cooperation, Agriculture Commissioner, Joint secretary (Crops), Director (Crops), Additional
Commissioner (Crops) and other senior officers of Ministry of Agriculture, Krishi Bhavan,
New Delhi for their constant encouragement and support to bring out this booklet. The help
and support rendered by the staff members of Directorate of Cotton Development and
National Centre for Integrated Pest Management are also note worthy. I hope the book will
be very much helpful to all the cotton sector stake holders for their references and day to day
use.
