We are truly impressed by the progress and achievement by your country in every field. You are well aware that we are here to meet and discuss cotton business expansion between our two countries. Some quick facts for your reference: India is the second largest cotton producing country in the world. Thanks to the Technology Mission for Cotton and Advanced Cotton Varieties which has drastically changed the cotton scenario in our country during the last decade. Trash content and contamination has been reduced to a great extent due to ideal processing standards. Cotton production for the year 2011-12 has reached 35 million bales of 170 kgs each in India and we have exported around 12.5 million bales this year. We are happy that China is our main buyer. Our delegates present here belong to the state of Maharashtra, and most of them are from Khandesh region comprising 3 districts namely Jalgaon, Dhule & Nandurbar. Around half a million hectare is under cotton cultivation in this region, which is also famous for Banana plantations. The soil is extremely suitable for cotton farming. Cotton production over here is approx. 3.5 million bales of 170 Kgs. This year about 1 million bales have been exported from our region, mainly to China. In our region we have 150 plus modern Ginning and Pressing Units, and we are projecting a production & processing of 5 million bales in near future. We are very well aware that China is a quality conscious buyer.
