The industry, which planted on more than 14,000 hectares of land, has managed to produce 68,000 lint bales of cotton.
The industry estimates that it can produce about 68,000 lint bales of cotton this year, which is already lower than last month, industry body Cotton SA said in its latest crop estimate report for 2022, which is about to come to a close.“Regardless of the higher commodity price, the crop estimate has not increased from the previous season, and in addition, producers suffered considerable damage from sustained rain and hail in various regions,” it said.
The industry, whose plantings were spread out on 14,044 of land for the season, anticipates a yield of 4,140 kg per hectare under irrigation from seed cotton and 1,523kg per hectare on drylands. It produced 4.515kg per hectare and 2,552kg per hectare during the prior season.
