Its planting area for 2012 was smaller than in 2011, but researchers from the country’s Cotton Research Institute, part of the Chinese Academy for Agricultural Sciences, have reported that the crop is better than last year’s.
The country's cotton planting area this year is smaller than last year but the cotton crop is much better compared to the same period of 2011, and the domestic cotton output is expected to be sufficient as long as there are no floods in autumn, the CCA said Monday, citing a report by the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
