Abstract


India, at present, is the second largest cotton growing country in the world being only next to the U. S. A., in acreage. In production, however, it takes the third place, the first and second ranks being occupied by the U. S. A. and the U. S. S. R., respectively. As estimated from the figures of 1954-55, the area under cotton in India is 18.3 million acres and the production is placed at 42-98 lakh bales. Towards the world's totals, the country contributes about 23.7% in acreage and 11.5% in production.
