A. Assam
B. West Bengal
C. Karnataka
D. Gujarat
Explanation:
Pakistan recently decided to lift its nearly two-year ban on imports of cotton and sugar from India. The Pakistani decision to lift the ban on cotton imports comes in the backdrop of a shortage in raw material for Pakistan’s textile sector, which has reportedly suffered due to low domestic yields of cotton. India is expected to be the world’s largest cotton producer in terms of the produced output surpassing China. Gujarat is the leading cotton growing State followed by Maharashtra. Maharashtra has the largest area under cotton cultivation followed by Gujarat.
