Cotton Production Expected to Decline Due to Drought

A total of 200,000 tons of cotton bolls are estimated to be produced in Iran during the current Iranian year that started on March 21. 
Due to drought and low precipitation levels, the estimate is lower compared with last year’s output, according to the manager of Cotton Project implemented by the Agriculture Ministry.
Last year (March 2020-21), some 270,000 tons were harvested and the production is estimated to experience a 26% decline this year.
