The registration for exports will begin on October 1st with no export duty for the allowable target of 5.5 million bales (170 Kg/bale).
Mr. Nayan Mirani, of Khimji Visram and Sons, Mumbai, who is also the Vice President of the Cotton Association of India spoke to Seshadri Ramkumar of Texas Tech University from Champaign, IL and broke the news on the decision of India's Government on cotton exports.
