Agriculture Department formed teams to stop the sale of spurious cotton seedsThe cotton farmers of Punjab have been troubled by the problem of spurious seeds for a long time. To overcome this problem, the Agriculture Department has taken a step. Bathinda Chief Agriculture Officer Dr. Dilbag Singh said that 48 Agriculture Development Officers and seven Agriculture Extension Officers have been deputed in the district to ensure that spurious cotton seeds from outside the state do not reach the market.He said that teams at block and circle level would also keep an eye on illegal seeds. He said that a six-member monitoring team has been formed in the district. He appealed to the farmers to apply online by visiting the government portal for the purchase of cotton seeds. By doing this, farmers will get good quality seeds with 33 per cent subsidy.Last year, fake cotton seed from Gujarat was sown in this cotton belt. The farmers who sowed this special seed had to bear the economic loss. In many cases, the cotton crop did not bear fruit at all.In 2021, whitefly and pink bollworm caused heavy damage to the cotton crop, after which some people sold seeds purchased from Gujarat to farmers, to ensure that the variety was whitefly resistant.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻https://smartinfoindia.com/hi/news-details-hindi/Pakistan-market-look-cotton-spot-rate-trading-naseem-usman

Cotton growers' hopes still unfulfilled The cotton market is under more pressure than ever this year. Most of the farmers have stopped selling cotton anticipating a rise in prices. There is not much arrival of cotton in any market this season. On the other hand, due to non-increasing rate, farmers are also worried about selling cotton. Although the ginning industry is currently happy because of the low rates.At present, cotton is being bought for Rs.7.5 thousand to Rs.8300 only.Experts say there are indications that the impact will be felt in cotton cultivation in the next season, which has seen a revival in cotton cultivation in the last two-three years due to good prices. Cotton cultivation was increasing at the expense of soybeans and other crops. Due to the prices reaching 10 thousand in the market, an atmosphere of satisfaction was created among the producers. However, this rate has not been achieved this season. At present, cotton is being bought for Rs.7.5 thousand to Rs.8300 only. The purchase rate of villages has also decreased.Ginning industry happy with low ratesAkot, a major cotton market, has developed in this area. There the current rate of cotton is being sold between 7800 to 8300. However, the income is minimal. Most of the major cotton growers are still holding back the sale of cotton. Farmers are expecting an improvement in the existing rates. The cotton ginning industry is happy with the lower rates. But if we think about it from the other side, there is a possibility that it will affect farming in the coming season. If cotton cultivation declines, it may be time for entrepreneurs to recapture raw materials for the ginning industry. It had to be done in the past. Therefore, reduction in area under cotton cultivation will not be beneficial for this industry also.producers in troubleIncrease the cost of production The farmers producing cotton are spending 30 to 35 thousand per acre due to high cost of agriculture, cultivation rate and wages. This year cotton had to be bought at Rs 10 to 12 per kg. 40 to 50 percent of the income is being spent. Besides, cotton production has come down in the first phase due to incessant rains. Due to this, the farmers had estimated that this year the price of cotton would reach at least 12 thousand. But it's all the other way around. This year the producer is in trouble as it is difficult to get the price of cotton even up to Rs 10,000.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻https://smartinfoindia.com/hi/news-details-hindi/Cotton-pakistan-market-recession-trading-spot-rate-punjab

Tamil Nadu weaves success story with warp and weftThe DMK government originally planned a "large textile park" in southern Tamil Nadu for industrialization and job creation. That's when the Center came up with the concept of 'PM Mitra' parks to make India a global hub for textile manufacturing. Tamil Nadu was among the 13 states that sent proposals to the Centre.The fabric of Tamil Nadu's textile sector has been strengthened in the last few days with the formal launch of the first 'PM Mitra' Textile Park at Virudhunagar and the unveiling of policies for the industry. Virudhunagar Park is the result of the state's sustained engagement with the Center over the past two years.Industries minister Thangam Thennarasu told TOI "We followed and met stringent selection criteria. We had 1,500 acres of land readily available near the state-owned SIPCOT in Virudhunagar and that was the deciding factor. This Kanyakumari-Chennai four-lane was on the Industrial Corridor and within easy reach of Tuticorin Port and Madurai Airport”.The minister said, “Our CM (MK Stalin) brought this to the notice of PM Modi then. We also had a plenary meeting with Union Minister Piyush Goyal and explained to him the benefits of allotting such a park to Tamil Nadu. Everything enables it”. Last week, when the park was formally launched, TN ensured that 11 companies signed an MoU to set up the units with a combined investment of Rs 1,231 crore. Stalin also urged the Center to nominate SIPCOT as the master developer so as to reduce the time taken for commissioning of the park."If everything goes according to plan, the park should be fully operational by 2025," Thennarasu said. Tamil Nadu's textile industry is naturally booming. Chandra Textiles Pvt CII-SR & MD Deputy Chairperson R. Ltd. The textile industry has always been one of the biggest employment generators in Tamil Nadu.Now, the industry is poised for rapid take-off, says SIMA President Ravi Sam. Tamil Nadu government to focus on three areas - scale, product and cotton. “We need to scale up capabilities. The recently arrived Bangladesh has 10 times the capacity of the Indian units. We also need to move up the value chain and stop focusing on basic products. There are more than 2,500 varieties and we should reduce it to about 50. Only then can one have control over the final product.Nandini of Chandra Textiles says the Center and states are promoting man-made and technical textiles. “This will put Tamil Nadu on the world map for innovation in technical textiles as our contribution as of now is very small. For this we need a lot of engagement between industry and academia. Imparting skills in technical textiles becomes an important requirement for man-made textiles, as they are completely different from traditional textile products.“Another area of focus should be labour. The industry employs mostly guest workers. Now, with many North Indian states also focusing on the growth path, the textile industry in Tamil Nadu should opt for rapid automation so that the need for blue-collar labor is less and white-collar labor is more. Hence, imparting skills becomes important,” says Nandini. The key for Tamil Nadu is to focus on emerging global opportunities in man-made fibers while consolidating its position in traditional natural fibres.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻https://smartinfoindia.com/hi/news-details-hindi/Textile-cotton-price-relieved-softening-industry-india-skyrocketing

Pakistan is taking steps to increase cotton productionThe government has taken timely positive steps to increase the production of cotton for the next season, which is expected to increase cotton production. The cotton production target for the next season has been kept at 127.7 lakh bales. The NFSR has also called for procurement of 10 lakh bales through TCP to keep the intervention price stable and constitution of Cotton Price Review Committee (CPRC) to monitor it, which is a welcome sign.There were reports of closure of cotton looms, garment factories and sizing factories in the market and this may further deepen the crisis. Due to lack of business, financial crisis is increasing in the market. However, the cotton yarn market is also at a standstill. The spinners have sold a large quantity of yarn on credit. There were almost no imports, resulting in a severe financial crisis and making payments extremely difficult.The situation with PC yarn is also not much different. In this situation, according to the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA), doing business is almost impossible. On the other hand, the economic and political situation of the country has already deteriorated. Higher sales tax rates, energy crisis and news of further interest rate hikes will add to the woes.According to the USDA's weekly export and sales report for the year 2022-23, three lakh, ten thousand and two hundred bales were sold. Vietnam topped by purchasing one lakh fifteen thousand three hundred bales. China came second by buying ninety five thousand nine hundred bales. Bangladesh bought 30,000 bales and came in third. Turkey bought 25,100 bales and stood at the fourth position. Pakistan bought 15700 bales and stood at the fifth position.As the government has failed to solve the economic problems including industry issues, it is feared that about seven million workforce of the industry is being affected due to closure of industries or reduction in their productivity. Four million of these affected workers are garment workers.

Lack of quality seeds behind stagnant cotton production Agriculture Report of Pakistan 2023The lack of good quality seed is the main reason for the stagnant yield and declining area under cotton in Pakistan, as the average available cotton seed is around 44 per cent germination.“This means that 44 out of every 100 seeds germinate, all the rest are wasted. The result is that farmers usually apply 16 kg of seed per acre, with uneven germination across the field. Good quality seeds With this, only 8 kg per acre will be required,” said the Status of Pakistan's Agriculture Report 2023, released on Thursday by the Pakistan Business Council.The report noted that Pakistan's cotton production has declined by an average of 10 to 12 million bales per year over the past two decades, but has declined sharply in the past few years. “China and Australia are the major cotton producing countries which cultivate irrigated cotton like Pakistan. Their average productivity per acre has been increasing over the years (except in drought years), while Pakistan's yield has remained stable at around 1 bale per acre, with a decline in recent years.The report noted that yield gains in China and Australia were mainly due to improved agricultural techniques, seedling transplantation, better crop management strategies to combat disease, more appropriate irrigation, stronger fertilizer application and improved seeds following the adoption of genetically modified seeds. Due to the adoption of In the last 20 years, India's cotton production has more than doubled. In the first few years of the 21st century, India's cotton production ranged between 14 and 16 million bales, while Pakistan's cotton production ranged between 11 and 14 million bales. This was the time when Bt cotton was introduced in Pakistan, but without a strong seed industry.In the following decade, Pakistan's cotton production remained stable within this range, with India's cotton production reaching around 40 million bales in early 2013. “Poor quality seed means low germination level, higher seed cost per acre and more labor cost. This means less yield which means less earning. It also means higher susceptibility of the crop to climate effects, and disease and pest attacks, inability to compete against weeds, and nutrient loss,” the report said.Furthermore, Bt cotton was brought to Pakistan through unregulated channels without any formal leadership, which is why, although most of Pakistan's cotton contains transgenic technology, its effectiveness remains questionable.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻https://smartinfoindia.com/news-details-hindi/INDIAN-COTTON-MARCH-HIGH-ARRIVALS-TRADERS-MARKETS-GINNED-MCX
