Karachi (Commerce Desk) The resumption of cotton spot rates by the Cotton Association after a six-month suspension has created a sense of stability across the cotton supply chain.
According to reports, the Karachi Cotton Association issued the last spot rate of the Cotton Year 2025–26 at Rs 21,000 on June 6, 2026, after a gap since December 12, 2025. The first spot rate for the Cotton Year 2026–27 is expected to be issued on June 8.
Market sources say that cotton cultivation in Punjab has remained below expectations, leading to a notable increase in cotton and phutti prices over the past week.
Experts believe that the restoration of spot rates will improve transparency and market confidence; however, a decline in cotton production may continue to influence prices in the coming days.
