16. Advantage- Indian cotton
Indian cotton is Hand Picked because of which quality parameters of the cotton are maintained resulting in better spinning value.
Less Short fibers & Neps formation because of Hand picking & Roller Ginning.
Improvement in quality & productivity of the Ginning process.
Improved HVI parameters.
Prime Micronaire of the Indian Cotton.
Improvement in the level of Trash content.
Improvement in the level of contamination.
Touch factor of the Indian Cotton.

17. Challenges for the Indian cotton Industry
Scope of improving the irrigation facilities.
High Density planting system for achieving the higher yield level.
Mechanization in cotton farming.
Continuous Improvement in ginning.
Bale Identification System & data management.
100% HVI Testing.
Contamination level in the Indian cotton.
Development of the Extra Long staple cotton.
Branding of Indian Cotton.
Sustainability.
