Telangana: Cotton farmers in Khammam face low yieldsKhammam : Many cotton farmers in the erstwhile Khammam district are facing serious fears of a significant decline in crop yields this season due to continuous heavy rains and inadequate supply of urea.Large areas of cotton have been damaged by prolonged waterlogging in fields due to repeated heavy rains. Unseasonal rains during flowering have severely affected the quality of their crops, further compounding their woes.According to Agriculture Department data, cotton is now cultivated on 1.72 lakh acres in Bhadradri-Kothagudem district, with an estimated yield of 26.56 lakh quintals. Cotton is grown on 2.25 lakh acres in Khammam district, and officials estimate the yield to be 27.07 lakh quintals.However, when The Hans India contacted officials and farmer organizations, widely conflicting views emerged on this emerging situation. Khammam District Agriculture Officer D. Pullaiah says there will be a slight decline in yields—only one to two quintals per acre in the lower areas—a claim denied by farmers' unions.Bonthu Rambabu, district secretary of the Telangana Rythu Sangham (CPI-M), insisted that yields could decline by 50 to 60 percent per acre. "Compared to the normal yield of 8 to 12 quintals per acre, farmers are now getting only 2 to 4 quintals," he said. He added that in many areas, cotton was washed away just before harvesting began.Continuously erratic rainfall in the district will worsen the situation. The minimum support price (MSP) for high-quality cotton with 8% moisture is ₹8,110 per quintal. However, prices drop significantly when the moisture content exceeds this. The high harvesting cost—₹15 to ₹17 per kg—increases the financial burden on farmers. "A farmer spends ₹5,000 to harvest three quintals of cotton, which is reduced to two quintals after drying. The effective profit is only ₹3,000," Rambabu said. He urged the Cotton Corporation of India to increase the acceptable moisture limit to 20-25% so that affected farmers can get a fair price.Towering rains have destroyed crops, and farmers demand compensation. Cotton farmers in Chandragonda Mandal, Bhadradri-Kothagudem district, are facing huge financial losses due to continuous rains for the past two months. The incessant rains have caused significant damage to the crop just when it was ready for harvest.Farmers in villages like Pokalagudem, Ravikampadu, Tungaram, Repallewada, and Tippanapalli have cultivated cotton on approximately 6,000 acres. However, due to the incessant rain, the cotton grains have turned black before opening, fallen to the ground prematurely, or developed mold after bursting, making them unsuitable for sale.Farmers Ramakrishna and Venkat Rao expressed deep sorrow, saying that the rains ruined their crop at the last minute. "We were just a few days away from harvesting our crop. Now we are looking at blackened cotton lying on the ground," they said.Given the scale of the damage, farmers fear significant losses this year in terms of both yield and quality, which will directly impact their earnings. The excessive moisture has also raised concerns about receiving the MSP, as damaged cotton often does not meet procurement standards.Local farmer groups are urging the state government to immediately intervene and announce relief measures for affected farmers. "The government must act without delay and compensate cotton farmers affected by excessive rain," the farmers demanded.read more :- 50% of cotton in Punjab sold below MSP, CCI delays the reason
Amidst CCI delays and app registration issues, 50% of Punjab's cotton sold below MSPBathinda: It has been 15 days since the official procurement of the cotton crop began in Punjab, but farmers are still waiting for the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to begin purchasing at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). This situation is despite the fact that by the evening of October 14th, approximately 90,000 quintals of cotton had arrived at procurement centers in Punjab. Due to the CCI not purchasing, private traders are purchasing, and many of these purchases are being made at prices well below the MSP.So far, 50% of the cotton in the state has been purchased below the MSP. In the current season, cotton prices have reached Rs. 3,000 per quintal (although only a small quantity has achieved such a low price), while the highest price recorded was Rs. 7,720 per quintal. The MSP for medium staple is ₹7,710 per quintal, while for long staple is ₹8,110 per quintal. Cotton with a staple length of 27.5-28.5 mm is typically grown in the state, with an MSP of ₹8,010 per quintal.To ensure transparency, the CCI has introduced an app, the Cotton Farmer App, from the 2025-26 season and made it mandatory for cotton procurement. Many farmers are facing difficulties registering on the Aadhaar-based registration app, which is preventing CCI from making purchases.According to data received from the Punjab State Agricultural Marketing Board (PSAMB), 89,209 quintals of cotton arrived in the mandis as of October 14, of which 88,991 quintals have been procured, and 44,368 quintals were procured below the MSP. Cotton is grown on 1.19 lakh hectares (2.97 lakh acres) in Punjab, of which approximately 30,000 acres have been damaged due to floods. Last year, cotton was cultivated on 99,700 hectares.Farmers are required to upload valid land records certified by revenue or agriculture officials and details of cotton sowing areas. Farmers can self-register on their mobile phones. The CCI informed all Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) across the state on August 21 about the new digital registration process. Initially, registration was to be completed by September 30, but it was extended to October 31.Karnail Singh, a farmer from the Khuiya Sarwar area of Fazilka, said, "We are facing a lot of difficulty in registering on the Cotton Farmer App because new Girdawari reports of the cotton acreage have to be uploaded. We want the CCI to procure as usual and waive registration this year due to the floods." CCI officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the corporation is ready to procure produce with up to 12% moisture content, but farmers will have to register through the Cotton Farmer App and the records will have to be verified by state government officials.read more :- Global cotton prices ease on decline in October
Global cotton prices fell in October, driven by declines in key benchmarks.According to Cotton Incorporated, cotton prices in key benchmarks declined last month, reflecting weak global demand and stable currency fluctuations.The December NY/ICE contract fell below a key support level around 66 cents per pound, reaching a new contract-life low below 65 cents before recovering slightly above that level in recent sessions.The A index also declined slightly from 78 to 76 cents per pound.

Rajasthan: Cotton procurement begins at MSP; CCI purchases at Rs. 7,860 per quintal. 8% moisture content is acceptable; registration on the app is mandatory .Hanumangarh. Agricultural Produce Market Committee Secretary Pandit Vishnudutt Sharma begins procurement at the MSP by applying tilak to farmers. Bhaskar Correspondent | Cotton procurement at the MSP began on Tuesday at the Junction Paddy Market in Hanumangarh district. The CCI has formally initiated the procurement by applying tilak to farmer Balveer Singh and miller Mahendra Mittal. The CCI will purchase cotton with moisture content up to 8% at a rate of Rs. 7,860 per quintal. Any moisture content between 8 and 12 percent will be deducted as per regulations. The CCI will not purchase cotton with moisture content above 12 percent. However, only one trolley was purchased on the first day. The moisture content was within CCI guidelines. According to CCI Senior Commercial Officer Kewalkrishna Sharma, the contract process with millers is almost complete. The procurement process will accelerate further in the next day or two. Most importantly, this time, CCI has initiated online registration for cotton procurement at MSP. The "Kisan Kapas" app has been launched for this purpose. Only farmers who register on the app will be able to sell their produce to CCI at MSP.Regional Deputy Director Devi Lal Kalwa, Trade Board President Kulveer Singh, trader Nitin Goyal, Accountant Mangilal Sharma, and supervisor Asaram were present at the procurement launch. The central government has set the support price for medium-staple cotton at ₹7,710 per quintal for 2025-26, and the MSP for long-staple cotton at ₹8,110 per quintal. In Hanumangarh district, cotton fiber is longer than medium-staple cotton and shorter than long-staple cotton. Therefore, CCI has set the price at ₹7,810. Last year, the price of medium-staple cotton was fixed at ₹7,121 per quintal and that of long-staple cotton at ₹7,521 per quintal. Due to low production last year, procurement at the support price was not possible. Traders purchased the produce through open auction. Last season, the average market price was ₹6,500 to ₹7,000 per quintal. This time, market prices are significantly lower than the support price, ranging from ₹6,800 to ₹7,300 per quintal.Due to the market price being approximately ₹1,000 per quintal lower than the MSP, farmers were suffering significant financial losses. Consequently, farmer organizations demanded an early resumption of procurement. Cotton procurement at MSP has begun, and farmers are being encouraged to register. For the first time, the CCI has initiated an online registration process for farmers selling cotton at MSP. To achieve this, the Cotton Corporation of India Limited (CCI) has launched the "Kapas Kisan" mobile app. Farmers can install the app from the Google Play Store. Farmers can self-register through the app, based on their Aadhaar. The registration process began on September 1st. The deadline is October 31st, which is likely to be extended to December 31st. According to CCI officials, CCI has launched the app for registration for farmers' convenience.Registration can be done by uploading valid land records, including details of the cotton sown area, duly certified by the relevant revenue authority/agriculture department/agricultural extension authority. After self-registration, the farmers' data uploaded to the mobile app must be approved by the relevant state government authority through the mobile app. For this purpose, a separate login ID will be provided to the state authority. To avoid overcrowding at procurement centers, CCI will launch a slot booking facility for registered farmers through the "Cotton Farmer" mobile app. Farmers can book slots on a 7-day rolling basis.Farmers will be able to select a date as per their convenience, depending on the availability of slots. ^Government procurement of cotton at the support price has begun at the Hanumangarh Junction Paddy Market. Registration is ongoing on the Kisan Kapas App. CCI will purchase from the farmer only after registration. Farmers are being made more aware of the need for registration.

Indian textile exporters are turning to Europe, offering discounts to offset US tariffs.Industry officials said Indian textile exporters are seeking new buyers in Europe and offering discounts to existing US customers to protect them from the impact of steep US tariffs of up to 50%.President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian imports in August, making them among the highest for any trading partner, affecting goods and products ranging from clothing and jewelry to shrimp.A Mumbai-based textile exporter, speaking on condition of anonymity before signing export contracts, said his company is prioritizing diversification into EU markets and that an imminent trade agreement with the bloc would help boost shipments from India.Trade negotiations between India and the European Union have entered a decisive phase, as their teams work intensively to meet the year-end target of signing a free trade agreement.The European Union is India's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade expected to reach $137.5 billion in the fiscal year ending March 2024, a nearly 90% increase over the past decade.Textile exporters said Indian exporters are accelerating efforts to meet the EU's stringent standards on chemicals, product labeling, and ethical sourcing.Rahul Mehta, whose website describes him as the chief patron of the Indian Textile Manufacturers Association, said exporters are upgrading production facilities to meet these standards.Mehta further said that exporters are also keen to reduce their dependence on the United States.In the fiscal year ending March 2025, the United States was India's largest textile and apparel market, accounting for about 29% of total exports of approximately $38 billion.Vijay Kumar Agarwal, president of Mumbai-based Creative Group, whose US exports account for 89% of its total exports, said some exporters have started offering discounts to retain US customers.Aggarwal said that if US tariffs continue to rise, the company could lose 6,000 to 7,000 of its 15,000 employees and consider shifting production to Oman or neighboring Bangladesh after six months.read more :- Andhra Pradesh: Delay in CCI procurement affects cotton farmers in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra pradesh : Cotton farmers in AP hit by CCI procurement delaysGuntur: Cotton farmers across Andhra Pradesh are facing deep uncertainty as the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) continues to delay procurement operations for the current season. Despite repeated assurances, procurement centres remain non-functional, leaving thousands of growers vulnerable to exploitation by private traders offering rates far below the official Minimum Support Price (MSP).The Centre's announcement of an MSP of ₹8,110 per quintal had initially raised hopes of financial relief. But in the absence of timely procurement, farmers in key cotton-producing districts—Guntur, Kurnool, Anantapur, and Prakasam—say they are being forced to sell at throwaway prices ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹6,000 per quintal.Many farmers have accused the CCI of "bureaucratic negligence" for not opening centres despite favourable harvest conditions. "Every year, they make big promises, but when the crop arrives, we're left waiting. By the time centres open, most of us have already sold to repay loans," said a farmer from Guntur.The much-publicised Kapas Kisan App, launched to simplify registration and provide market updates, has also failed to deliver. Farmers report technical glitches, lack of guidance, and no real-time support. "It's just another app with no accountability," said a cotton grower from Kurnool.Agriculture experts warn that the delay could trigger a financial crisis for cotton farmers, many of whom rely solely on the crop for annual income. "CCI's slow response has created panic in rural markets. Without swift intervention, small and marginal farmers will suffer heavy losses," said an agricultural economist.Despite mounting criticism, officials insist procurement will begin soon, citing administrative delays. But with prices already collapsing, farmers fear irreversible damage. Unless CCI acts quickly and opens all centres, the festive season may turn bleak for Andhra Pradesh's cotton growers.read more :- Cotton in Kukshi Mandi is ₹1100 less than the MSP, farmers demand purchase from CCI
Madhya Pradesh: Cotton sold at ₹1,100 less than MSP in Kukshi Mandi: Farmers angry, demand CCI to purchase at the support priceCotton farmers in Kukshi Mandi are currently in distress. The Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) has not yet started purchasing cotton at the MSP, forcing farmers to sell their crop at throwaway prices.On Tuesday, 1,535 quintals of cotton arrived at Kukshi Mandi. The average market price (model price) was ₹6,595 per quintal. Farmers say this price is approximately ₹1,100 per quintal less than the support price.With Diwali approaching, small farmers are forced to reach the market to sell their cotton, resulting in significant losses.Farmer leader Rajendra Patidar stated that despite protests and submissions last month, CCI has not started purchasing. Farmers Kailash Manohar and Pradeep Patidar also expressed concern over the low prices. Farmers demand that procurement should have begun in early October.Why the delay in procurement?Market Secretary H.S. Jamra explained that the reason CCI procurement hasn't begun is that an agreement has not yet been reached with the ginning industry regarding cotton ginning. The issue is pending regarding ginning rates. He expressed hope that this impasse will soon be resolved and procurement will begin.CCI local official Uday Patil also confirmed that procurement will begin only after an agreement has been reached.read more :- Rupee open Falls 07 Paise to 88.74/USD

Maharashtra is charting a quality-based future for cottonMumbai: Maharashtra is charting a quality-based future for cotton by aligning with global practices.Maharashtra's cotton sector took a decisive step towards strengthening its global competitiveness with a high-level workshop titled "Promoting Cotton Value Chain Development by Focusing on Quality, Productivity, Production, and Market Access" held at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur.Jointly organized by the Balasaheb Thackeray Agribusiness and Rural Transformation (SMART) Project, Maharashtra Transformation Institute (MITRA), Maharashtra Village Social Transformation Foundation (VSTF), Indo Cotton Development Association, Grant Thornton, and Palladium Consulting India Private Limited, this one-day state-level workshop brought together government leaders, industry leaders, farmer producer companies (FPCs), and textile stakeholders to develop an integrated roadmap for sustainable cotton value chain development in Maharashtra.Praveen Pardeshi, Chief Economic Advisor to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and CEO of MITRA, said, "We need to align agricultural practices, contamination control, and market reforms with global standards, such as the Kasturi Cotton Bharat initiative—India's national cotton quality and traceability program."Dr. Rajaram Dighe, CEO of VSTF, emphasized the need to align India with global cotton textile standards, focusing not only on quality but also on achieving complete traceability across the cotton value chain.Dr. Hemat Wasekar, Project Director of SMART, emphasized the strategic need to shift from a quantity-based cotton production approach to a quality and value-based approach.Additional Chief Secretary (Agriculture) Vikas Chandra Rastogi highlighted the Maharashtra government's commitment to modernizing the sector through technology adoption, farmer training, and FPO linkages with premium buyers.As international brands increasingly prioritize sustainable and traceable cotton, Maharashtra's integrated value-chain approach—connecting FPOs, modern ginning units, and premium buyers—positions the state to capture new export opportunities.Speakers said that the synergy between improved cotton, Kasturi Bharat, and BIS certification frameworks is expected to increase market premiums and boost farmer incomes.read more:- New date for cotton purchase registration announced
CCI Cotton Procurement: CCI Cotton Procurement Registration Deadline Extended.Akola: The CCI cotton procurement registration deadline ended on September 30th. In this regard, A. Randhir Savarkar held a meeting with CCI officials to discuss the extension and other issues. A delegation of cotton farmers, along with CCI Deputy General Managers and officials, were present.The Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) has developed the "Kapas Kisan" app for the procurement of cotton produced in 2025-26. Since the cotton procurement plan will be implemented digitally, there will be no human intervention. The plan will be implemented transparently.Given the continued heavy rainfall and prolonged monsoon this year, the cotton procurement season is expected to be extended, so the deadline for cotton procurement, which is September 30th, should be extended. MLA Savarkar suggested that the procurement period should also be extended. A/C Savarkar also suggested that the CCI provide guidance and information to cotton growers on how to use the app.A farmer's Aadhaar card and linked bank account are required to implement the procurement process. Farmers are given the option to choose a procurement center, but the requirement for the farmer to sell cotton to be physically present should be removed. Savarkar suggested submitting a proposal to the government. After entering the information during registration on this app, the account holder receives an OTP.Furthermore, since the money is being deposited into their account, the requirement for the farmer to be present during the sale does not seem practical, he said. The state government will bring this matter to the attention of the central government and will try to remove it.CCI officials stated that cotton procurement is planned to begin in the district from Wednesday (15th). Deputy General Manager Brijesh Kasan, Praveen Sadhu of Cotton Corporation of India, Shri Tiwari, farmers Rajesh Bele, Anil Gawande, Dr. Amit Kavre, Shankarrao Wakode, Ambadas Umale, Praveen Hagawane, Chandu Khadse, Rajesh Thackeray, Vivek Bharane, Bharat Kalmegh etc. were present in the meeting.read more:- INR Gains 09 Paise, Closes at 88.67 per Dollar

Building a Sustainable Future for Cotton FarmersCotton has long been the lifeline of rural economies in India, supporting millions of farming families and powering one of the world's largest textile industries. Yet, the sector faces complex challenges ranging from price fluctuations and soil erosion to climate variability and unsustainable input practices. Against this backdrop, organizations like the Ambuja Foundation and the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) are working together to transform the cotton landscape, making it more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient.As Chandrakant Kumbhani, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Community Development at the Ambuja Foundation, says, "Cotton presents a huge opportunity. By adopting sustainable practices, increasing productivity, and adding value to the cotton value chain, India can strengthen farmers' resilience while also positioning cotton as the sustainable natural fiber of the future."Ambuja Foundation's long-standing partnership with the Better Cotton Initiative has been central to this transformation. Reflecting on this collaboration, Jyoti Narayan Kapoor, Country Director (India), Better Cotton Initiative, said, "Since the launch of the Better Cotton Initiative, India's cotton farming communities have consistently demonstrated their commitment to sustainability and willingness to adopt new practices.The impact of this collaboration has been significant. BCI's 2023 India Impact Report, its first country-specific study, documented measurable progress across multiple growing seasons, particularly in areas such as reduced pesticide and water use and improved yields and profitability for farmers. "We saw how pesticide and water use decreased sharply, while yields and profits increased," says Kapoor. BCI is excited by the success being seen across India and looks forward to a bright future based on collaboration and commitment to both people and the planet.At the core of both organizations' work lies the shared belief that sustainability in cotton is not just about better farming, but about better lives. As Kumbhani aptly concludes, "Investing in sustainable cotton is ultimately an investment in farmers, families, and people in rural communities. The journey ahead demands collective action across government, industry, research institutions, and civil society to ensure that cotton remains not only the world's most widely used natural fiber, but also one of the most sustainable."Together, the Ambuja Foundation and the Better Cotton Initiative exemplify how strategic partnerships, farmer-centered innovation, and a shared commitment to sustainability can help India reimagine its cotton sector, ensuring that the fiber of our daily lives remains deeply connected to the well-being of those who grow it.read more :- Instructions to collectors to inform about cotton purchase
