In December last year, the Government capped the yarn shipments to 720 million kg for 2010-11 to help ease rising domestic cotton prices.

In a recent CYAB meetingCYAB, the board estimated a higher yarn production of 3,931 million kg in 2011-12 against 3,510 million kg for this fiscal, an official told PTI.

Cotton production was estimated to be 312 lakh bales for the current cotton season (October to September).
