What's behind this

Cotton prices fell by `500 in the Karimnagar markets, with reports indicating a broader decline across agricultural markets in the erstwhile Karimnagar district. Meanwhile, a trade body projects that India’s cotton output for the 2026‑27 season will shrink by 14% because of a dip in cultivated area and drought conditions. Consumption is expected to remain flat at 365 lakh bales, and both exports and imports are projected to decline compared with the previous year.
