"Garment units in Tiruppur had to be closed due to lack of orders!"President of the South India Hosiery Manufacturers Association, A.C. Easwaran urged the Center to check garment imports from Bangladesh and ban cotton exports when the new cotton season starts from October 1.According to the South India Hosiery Manufacturers Association, about 40% of Tiruppur hosiery manufacturing units supplying the domestic market have shut down due to lack of orders.In the memorandum given to the central government, the president of the association, A.C. Easwaran said several units in Tiruppur are shutting down production due to a drop in orders. The value of clothing imports from Bangladesh has increased 15 times in the last six years. In 2016-2017, apparel worth ₹288 crore was imported and in 2022-2023, it was around ₹4,500 crore. When India signed a free trade agreement with Bangladesh in 2011, there was a 12% duty on imports from Bangladesh. However, there was no duty now and there were unconfirmed reports that goods from China enter India through Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the textile industry was supported by the government with subsidies. Tirupur's industries were unable to compete with imports from Bangladesh as the cost of production here was high, he said.Mr Easwaran urged the Center to check apparel imports from Bangladesh and ban cotton exports when the new cotton season begins on October 1. He said, only surplus cotton should be allowed for export so that the prices of cotton and yarn remain stable. The domestic textile and apparel industry was expected to consume about 300 lakh bales of cotton. If cotton prices fall below the minimum support price, the Cotton Corporation of India should take steps to buy cotton from farmers. He said that the government should monitor the sale of cotton by the corporation to the industry.
Tamil Nadu: Farmers in Karaikal say pest attack on cotton crop is affecting yield and quality.Pest attack on the cotton crop as a result of summer rains has affected the production and quality of the product this year, cotton farmers in Karaikal said, and demanded that the Puducherry government expedite insurance for yield loss. Pest attacks have added to the woes of farmers due to poor prices for private procurement of cotton.“Sucking pests like mealybugs (‘maavu poochi’) and aphids (‘aswini poochi’) have affected the quantity and quality of our produce. The fall in demand has already affected prices, and with the decline in quality Because prices have come down to Rs 50 per kg. We request to expedite insurance to cover our losses,'' said farmer-representative BG Somu. According to the Puducherry agriculture department, this year Karaikal has around Cotton was cultivated on 1,200 hectares, double that of last year.A surplus in supply led to a reduction in demand, as the average selling price fell from Rs 90 to Rs 65.Due to unseasonal rains, the crops got attacked by pests during the tillering period. Noting that the pest is not uncommon this year, agriculture department officials assured that cotton was covered under the crop insurance scheme. A senior agriculture department official said, "We are regularly giving expert recommendations for pest control to farmers. Crop labor costs have gone up for farmers, while procurement rates have come down. This has resulted in loss of their profits." has increased."Representatives of Karaikal District Delta Farmers Welfare Association met Collector A Kulothungan on Thursday and urged him to provide insurance for the lost produce. “Crop insurance is pending for the past few years. The loan waiver announced by the government is yet to materialize, and pending old loans have put cultivation of the upcoming crop in question and made our cotton cultivation unviable We request the Puducherry government to settle the old loans and help us take new loans," said P Rajendhiran, president of the association.

But that was an isolated incident and prices have stabilized at around Rs 8,000 per quintal in 2022-23, which is higher and more realistic than 2020-21."About a month ago, China resumed import of cotton yarn from India and this is likely to provide relief to cotton prices in India," he added.Metalia, who is also a cooperative leader, said that although groundnut can bring higher returns in absolute terms, sharecroppers hailing from tribal areas of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra complain about the laborious practice of harvesting groundnut and the land The owners agree to enter into contracts with the farmers. only if the latter would allow them to grow cotton. That is why the area under cotton is increasing, he said.

Are being given. This is causing trouble for exporters as billions of rupees are already stranded with FBRs of five zero-rated sectors. This dire situation is one of the main reasons for the decline in our exports.Exporters from this country are not interested in paying sales tax to Pakistan government and then begging for refund, which is exporter's own money. For refund of GST amount, they are wasting their own resources, lots of paperwork, heavy investment on equipment etc. Their money stuck for several months creates a financial crisis and they are paying high interest rates to banks for borrowing.

Indian cotton industry, trade want government to do away with quality orderWith the Cotton Bales (Quality Control) Order coming into force from August 28, 2023, textile organizations and trade associations have started approaching the Ministry of Textiles to defer the implementation to a later date.The order, known as the Cotton QCO (Quality Control Order), was notified by the Union Ministry of Textiles on February 28, which said it would come into force 180 days after its publication in the gazette. This applies to processed cotton (counted) and unprocessed or raw cotton (cotton).The order laid down certain norms for the numbered cotton bales as well as the requirements for the materials used for packing the bales.The QCO specifies that cotton bales should have a moisture content of 8 per cent. In this, ginning mills are required to test at least 5 percent of the bales, while the waste content in the bales should not exceed 3 percent.According to K Venkatachalam, chief advisor to the Tamil Nadu Spinning Mills Association (TASMA), the QCO will apply to imported cotton as well and this could cause some "trouble".“The signing of contracts for the import of cotton needs to be done very carefully,” he told BusinessLine.TASMA President AP Appukutty, in a memorandum to Commerce and Textiles Minister Piyush Goyal, sought to defer the implementation of the QCO until a consensus is reached among all stakeholders in domestic and imported cotton.He urged the minister to issue a specific order to exempt imports from this order as it would be re-exported by adding value in the form of quality yarn.Appukutty said several members of TASMA have tied up with foreign shippers from countries like Australia, the US and West Africa to import cotton and these will reach Indian ports in the first or second week of September.Besides, countries abroad have their own standards and it may be difficult for shippers to meet the standards, he added.effect of weather on humidityOn Wednesday, the Cotton Association of India (CAI) wrote to Commerce and Textiles Minister Piyush Goyal urging him to defer the implementation of QCO for "minimum one or two years".CAI President Atul Ganatra told Goyal that ginners would find it difficult to ensure 8 per cent moisture in cotton bales. This is because during October-December the moisture level in lint (processed cotton) will be 10-12 per cent, while in cotton (raw cotton) it will be 15-25 per cent.The CAI President said that ginners are required to test 5 per cent of the bales but they lack adequate infrastructure for the same. Referring to the maximum limit of garbage content, he said that cotton from Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana has more than 4 per cent garbage.Issue taken up with BISSimilarly, considering the basic characteristics of the variety, the waste content in V-797 cotton is 12-15%. “Cotton is a natural product and hence, standardization of cotton parameters is extremely difficult to achieve,” Ganatra said.He said the issue has also been taken up with the Bureau of Indian Standards and urged Goyal to hold discussions with his union.On the other hand, the Karnataka Cotton Association (KCA) has written to JK Gupta, Scientist-E and Head (Textiles) at BIS, seeking a meeting between the Ministry of Textiles and ginners to clear and clarify "all confusion" around QCO. is of. , Association president Shantilal M Ostwal said the implementation of QCO should be postponed till proper testing infrastructure is available as there are only a few laboratories which are accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).'Implementation in APMC Yard'He said that the ginning industry is ready to follow all the prescribed packaging requirements, but it is mandatory to implement the norms in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) yards from where the cotton is first procured.Such an approach would ensure that the moisture level does not affect the quality parameters of the cotton. Ostaval said, "...it may not always be possible to achieve certain parameters due to inherent variations in raw materials."The KCA president said that setting up a single and monopoly laboratory could lead to controversy. Therefore, sellers and buyers should mutually agree on the use of such laboratories and "refuse to resolve disputes to prevent disruptions in business operations".He added that in the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty in the system, Jining Sector will be prepared to halt operations until all issues are clarified and resolved.

Viscose staple yarn industry revenue to grow by 10-12% to $2.5 billion this fiscal: CrisilThe Indian viscose staple yarn (VSY) industry will see a 10-12 per cent growth in revenue this fiscal, continuing the strong demand seen in the previous financial year, CRISIL Ratings said on Tuesday.The report highlights that the revenue of the Indian viscose staple yarn (VSY) industry is expected to touch an all-time high of over US$ 2.5 billion.According to the report, even as yarn prices decline, though at a lower rate than raw material prices, overall profitability is likely to improve by 200-300 basis points (bps). "The strong balance sheet and improved cash flows will support the credit risk profile of manufacturers, despite substantial debt-funded capital expenditure (capex)," it added.VSY is an attractive alternative to cotton yarn because of its lower prices and comparable characteristics. It registered a compound annual growth rate of 13 per cent in the last three financial years, which is higher than 5 per cent for cotton yarn.Himank Sharma, director, Crisil Ratings Ltd., said, “Viscose spinnerets volumes are expected to grow by 15 per cent this fiscal, supported by sustained domestic demand and revival in export demand during the second half. Overall, segmental growth will be in the low double digits.With improvement in revenue of VSY manufacturers and spread between VSY and VSF widening to Rs 55-58 per kg, operating margin is likely to improve to 11-12 per cent. Higher viscose yarn imports from China and weak global demand impacted spreads in the last fiscal, reducing margins by 800-900 bps.Jayashree Nandakumar, Director, CRISIL Ratings Ltd., pointed out that the capital-intensive nature of the VSY segment has resulted in regular loan repayments by players for capacity expansion."However, the strong balance sheet has ensured that the credit risk profile of the players remains comfortable despite continued capital expenditure," he added.
