Cotton Acreage in India during the current year has fallen by `10%` as cotton growers had moved on cultivation of other cash crops. This is the result of the cotton glut in world markets in post-september 11 and the consequent slodown in the world economy . But this scenario brought with it benefits to one segment of the industry yarn- manufacturers , as they get higher prices for their produce. Some yarn manufacturers too had stocked up on low priced cotton last year. The combined effect of all this is evident in the rise in the net profits and net margins of yarn manufacturers.
