Madhya Pradesh: Farmers say the cotton crop has lost its color; wheat sowing may be delayed by a fortnight.Indore: Unseasonal rains over the past few days have dashed farmers' hopes for a better harvest and raised concerns about the quality of the standing cotton crop in western Madhya Pradesh. This rain is expected to delay wheat sowing by about a fortnight.Cotton harvesting is currently underway in the Malwa-Nimar region, and farmers say the sudden downpour has affected the color and quality of the newly harvested crop. Kailash Agarwal, a cotton farmer and ginning mill owner from Khargone, said, "The first harvest of cotton is underway, and the rain has caused the crop to lose its color. With no room for drying this season, the cotton stored in warehouses after harvesting is also at risk of spoilage."Officials and farmers said there has been no major crop damage so far, but the rain has disrupted field preparation and sowing schedules for Rabi crops like wheat, maize, and chickpea. Due to the moisture, sowing is likely to be delayed by about 10 to 15 days in many areas.Dilip Mukati, president of the Indore Metropolitan Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, said, "Overall, there has been no major damage, but wheat sowing has been delayed as farmers are waiting for the rain to stop before starting field work."In the Indore division, wheat is sown on approximately 200,000 hectares each year. The ideal time for wheat sowing in Madhya Pradesh begins in late October and continues until mid-November. However, agricultural experts say that if the moisture conditions persist, farmers may have to wait longer, which could impact the yield potential of early-sown varieties.read more :-Cotton sold below MSP in Haryana
Haryana: Cotton not being sold at MSP, farmers are suffering lossesThe cotton crop is inundating the markets of Fatehabad district these days. Farmers are bringing their paddy crops to the grain markets, but they are suffering losses due to not receiving a fair price for their hard work. The government has claimed to purchase a total of 24 crops at MSP, including cotton.The minimum support price for cotton has been set at ₹7,710 per quintal, but due to the lack of a fair price in the markets, farmers are incurring a loss of ₹1,500. The reason behind this is said to be the CCI (Cotton Corporation of India) not purchasing. Due to the government's cotton procurement not starting in the district's grain markets, farmers are forced to sell their crop to private traders at throwaway prices.Private traders are purchasing cotton from farmers at prices ranging from ₹6,000 to ₹7,100 per quintal, while the government has set the MSP for medium-stem cotton at ₹7,710 per quintal. Cotton arrivals are high in the grain markets of Bhattu and Bhuna in the district. The price difference between government and private procurement is directly affecting farmers' economic situation. Farmers are facing losses of up to ₹1,700 per quintal.The Bhattu and Bhuna areas of the district are leading cotton producers, but after the weather, farmers are now turning away from cotton cultivation due to lack of fair prices. Farmers have demanded the government immediately resume cotton procurement at the MSP and put an end to the arbitrary actions of private traders. Mandeep Nathwan, state president of the Pagdi Sambhal Jatta Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, stated that the lack of MSP procurement is a direct exploitation of farmers. On Friday, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini also failed to address the farmers' problems. In such a situation, farmers are becoming increasingly vulnerable. All crops should be purchased at MSP so that farmers can benefit.read more :-CCI cuts cotton prices by up to ₹700, sells 89.55% stock in e-auction

bought cotton: Permission for 'Pannan', but no funds; cotton procurement dilemma?Kapus Kharedi: Farme rs have suffered a major setback this year during the cotton season. The Maharashtra State Cotton Marketing Federation (Pannan) has received permission from the central government to procure, but due to a lack of funds, procurement centers are unable to operate. Financial assistance has also been stalled due to the account being declared 'NPA'. As a result, farmers' reliance on the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) this season has once again rested, while the lack of a concrete decision from the government has increased their concerns.Farmers' hopes for the cotton season in the state appear to be dashed. The Maharashtra State Cotton Marketing Federation (Pannan) has received permission from the central textiles ministry to procure cotton, but due to a lack of funds, procurement centers are unable to operate.Since Pannan's account is currently declared a non-performing asset (NPA), obtaining financial assistance from banks has become difficult. Therefore, farmers will once again have full confidence in the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) this season.Proposal Stalled Due to Lack of FundsA proposal to set up a procurement center was presented at the Federation's board of directors meeting held in Mumbai on September 30. However, this proposal is currently stalled due to a lack of funds.Federation Director Rajabhau Deshmukh stated that the Federation is expecting to receive some of the outstanding funds from the central government and, if the funds are received, efforts will be made to set up a procurement center.Although the President and Vice President of Pannan have met with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and requested financial assistance, the state government has not yet taken any concrete decision.Impact of Foreign Cotton on the MarketThe abolition of the 11 percent import duty on cotton by the central government has paved the way for cheap cotton from abroad to come to India. This has provided the country's textile industries with an alternative to cheaper imported cotton, leading them to import bales directly from abroad. This situation has reduced demand for Indian cotton, threatening to cause prices to fall in the local market.Increased Burden on FarmersNew cotton has begun arriving at farmers' homes. However, due to the market not opening purchasing centers, the blame falls squarely on the CCI (Cotton Corporation of India). Market prices are currently unstable, and farmers are facing hardship due to arbitrary pricing by traders.The state government needs to take immediate, concrete decisions to provide stability to cotton-producing farmers. Otherwise, if cotton has to be sold at lower prices, farmers' economic calculations are likely to be completely disrupted.read more :- Wardha: Farmers waiting for procurement centers, 15,000 registered with CCI
Maharashtra: Farmers await procurement centers; 15,000 in Wardha register with CCI, crops destroyedWardha: Delays in government procurement have become a new challenge for farmers already struggling with natural disasters. Nearly 15,000 farmers in the district have registered with the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to sell their cotton.This year, farmers in the district have suffered heavy losses due to natural disasters. NAFED purchases soybeans at the minimum support price, but this year, NAFED has yet to find an auspicious time to begin registration. As a result, farmers are forced to sell soybeans to private traders at rates below the support price.Government cotton procurement centers have also not been operational. Meanwhile, nearly 15,000 farmers in the district have registered with the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to sell their cotton. However, the government procurement centers have not yet been operational, creating problems for cotton-producing farmers.Standing soybean crop set on fireFarmers in the district primarily cultivate cotton, soybean, and pigeon pea during the Kharif season. This year, continuous excessive rainfall has caused significant damage to both cotton and soybean crops. Many farmers, unable to even recover their costs, set their standing soybean crops on fire.Meanwhile, cotton crops are being affected by red rot in some areas and pink bollworm in others. Against this backdrop, Cyclone Montha brought unseasonal rain to the district again on Thursday. The Nagpur Meteorological Department has predicted more rain in the coming days.Due to the soybean crop being wet and other reasons, it has become difficult for farmers to receive MSP prices. Farmers have been forced to sell their crops at low prices. Meanwhile, cotton crops are arriving from the fields to their homes. The lack of procurement centers has created serious challenges for farmers.October 31st announced as the last date for registration.CCI plans to purchase cotton from farmers through 13 centers in the district. Registration for this has been started. So far, about 15 thousand farmers have registered with CCI. The last date for registration has been fixed as 31st October.

Maharashtra: Rain in Hingoli district for the second consecutive day: After soybean, cotton crop suffers major damage, further worsening farmers' hardshipsRain lashed Hingoli town and the entire district for the second consecutive day on Thursday, continuing late into the evening, causing significant crop damage. While the previous rains had already destroyed the soybean crop, the blown-out cotton fields are now rotting, causing hardship for cotton farmers.Hingoli city and district were hit hard by rain in August. Rain continued in September, destroying any remaining soybean. In some areas, farmers had planted soybean and cotton crops, but the rain damaged the soybean and damaged the standing soybean crops. This has reduced soybean yields to less than two bags per acre.Meanwhile, rainfall has decreased once again. The district received heavy rain on Wednesday, the 29th. Kalamnuri taluka received heavy rain, with 65 mm of rain recorded in the past 24 hours. Following this, for the second consecutive day, Thursday, heavy rain fell across the district three times, each within 30 minutes. The heavy rain continued until late evening.Meanwhile, cotton harvesting is underway in the fields. However, since the rain began on the sprouted cotton, the cotton has wilted in the fields. This has caused significant damage to cotton, followed by soybean. The continuous rain has left farmers wondering when to harvest.Farmers Fear Double SowingContinuing rain across the district has delayed the sowing of gram crops for the Rabi season, and farmers fear that if heavy rain occurs after sowing, it will lead to double sowing. Therefore, farmers have prepared their fields for sowing and are waiting for the rains to resume, farmers said.Five gates of the Isapur Dam were opened.Due to this rainfall, the flow of water into the Isapur Dam has increased, and on Thursday, five gates of the dam were opened by half a meter, releasing 8,541 cusecs of water.

Trump, Xi Signal Trade Thaw After High-Stakes Asia MeetingUS President Donald Trump wrapped up his Asia tour on Thursday after a face-to-face meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping — a crucial step toward easing months of trade tension between the world’s two largest economies.Following a 100-minute discussion in Busan, South Korea, Trump said Washington and Beijing are “in agreement on many things,” hinting that a trade deal could be signed “pretty soon.”On Air Force One, Trump called it a “great meeting” with Xi, whom he praised as a “great leader.” He announced that the US will lower tariffs on Chinese goods to 47% and that China will resume bulk soybean purchases. The move comes as both sides seek to defuse friction over fentanyl exports and volatile tariff hikes.Trump also declared that issues around rare earth minerals—critical for global tech and defense industries—had been resolved. “There’s no roadblock from China anymore,” he said, adding that both nations recognized the danger of further economic escalation.Xi struck a conciliatory tone, saying the US and China should be “partners and friends,” despite occasional frictions. Both leaders agreed to reciprocal visits in the coming months — Trump to Beijing in April, and Xi to the US soon after.While optimism is high, analysts warn that rivalry in areas like AI, manufacturing, and critical minerals could still reignite tensions between the two powers.read more :- Rains in northern Telangana put cotton farmers in trouble
Continuous Rain Affects Cotton Farmers In North TelanganaADILABAD: Continuous rains have severely affected standing cotton crops, causing cotton to fall from the bolls and get drenched. Several parts of Adilabad, Komaram Bheem Asifabad, Mancherial, and Nirmal districts received heavy rainfall on Wednesday. Farmers are deeply worried about crop damage due to the rains triggered by the Montha cyclone, with fears that the cotton yield may decline further.The farmers’ hopes of getting the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of ₹8,110 per quintal are fading as continuous rains have increased the moisture content in cotton. In this situation, cotton farmers are likely to incur heavy losses. Private traders are reportedly buying cotton at less than ₹7,000 per quintal, citing the high moisture levels. The erstwhile Adilabad district is one of the state’s largest cotton-growing regions, and heavy rains have lashed several areas in Adilabad and Komaram Bheem Asifabad districts.Farmers have already suffered losses as standing cotton crops were inundated during the recent floods caused by incessant rains. Now, the drenched cotton bolls are turning blackish, further reducing their quality. Agricultural labourers are also facing hardships in picking cotton during the first round of harvest, as the black soil has become slushy due to rain. Agriculture department officials earlier estimated a 25 per cent drop in cotton yield for the kharif season. However, with the latest spell of rains under the influence of the Montha cyclone, the yield loss may now rise to 35 per cent.Cotton was cultivated over 4.30 lakh acres in Adilabad district and 3.34 lakh acres in Komaram Bheem Asifabad district during the current Kharif season. Rythu Swarajya Vedika district president Sangepu Borranna said the unexpected rains caused by the Montha cyclone have dealt a severe blow to cotton farmers, especially in the erstwhile Adilabad district and other parts of north Telangana. He added that farmers are struggling to hire agricultural labourers for cotton picking as they lack funds, having been unable to sell their first harvest due to poor quality and high moisture content.read more :- India's new plan: Target to reach $100 billion in textile exports by 2030
Boosting India's Textile Industry: Ministry Drafts Plan to Gain an Edge Over Bangladesh and China; Aims to Achieve $100 Billion in Exports by 2030With Bangladesh, Vietnam, and China becoming more competitive, India is working to regain its value advantage in the global textile market. The government is preparing a cost reduction roadmap that will be implemented in phases: a two-year short-term plan, a five-year medium-term plan, and a long-term plan. According to an ET report, the plan will examine all major cost factors, such as raw materials, labor regulations, taxes, and compliance requirements, to make production and exports cheaper. Officials involved in the work said the roadmap aims to identify where India's cost structure is higher than its competitors and address those shortcomings."The objective is to compare India's costs with those of major global competitors and work on measures to reduce production and export costs and minimize wastage in manufacturing," an official said. Why the Indian textile industry is lagging: Despite being one of the world's largest textile producers, India struggles on several fronts. High logistics and energy costs add to the burden of expensive raw materials, eroding the country's advantage in global markets. In comparison, both Bangladesh and Vietnam operate with lower costs and better productivity. Their labor laws are considered more flexible, and they enjoy duty-free access to raw materials and key markets like Europe.Vietnam ships goods to China without any tariff barriers, while Bangladesh benefits from a cheaper wage structure than India. Industry representatives estimate that labor productivity is 20% to 40% higher in these competing countries. According to ET, the new framework is expected to increase textile exports from the current level of around $40 billion to $100 billion by 2030. As part of this effort, the Ministry of Textiles is creating systems to improve research and development in fibers, fabrics, technical textiles, sustainable materials, and digital traceability.A committee has already been formed to explore how innovation in branding and design can be incorporated for international markets, along with creating opportunities for design houses and start-ups working in new-age textiles. "Extensive consultations will be held with industry associations, banks, innovation labs, start-ups, and international experts," the official said. The government is working on a roadmap, but data shows that the industry's growth remains slow. In the first half of FY2026, textile and apparel exports grew only 0.39% year-on-year.Sanjay Jain, chairman of the National Expert Committee on Textiles of the Indian Chamber of Commerce, said that reforms will play a key role in reducing costs. "Removing quality control orders, rationalizing labor laws, and a free trade agreement with Europe will help reduce costs significantly," he told ET.read more :- Rupee open Falls 20 Paise to 88.40/USD

Trump made the remarks while speaking at the APEC CEOs Luncheon in South Korea's Gyeongju. Although the US President again repeated his claim of brokering the India-Pakistan ceasefire, which New Delhi has repeatedly rejected."I'm doing a trade deal with India, and I have great respect and love for Prime Minister Modi. We have a great relationship. Likewise, the Prime Minister of Pakistan is a great guy. They have a Field Marshal. You know why he's a Field Marshal? He's a great fighter. And so I know them all. I'm reading that seven planes were shot down. These are two nuclear nations. And they're really going at it..." he said during his address.The President went on to speak of his great relationship with both New Delhi and Islamabad. He further said that he had told both leaders that the United States would not move ahead with any trade agreements while the two countries remained in conflict. He said, I called Prime Minister Modi and said we cannot make a trade deal with you while you are fighting with Pakistan. Then I called Pakistan and said the same thing.Trump has previously made similar claims of attempting to mediate between India and Pakistan after a brief conflict in May this year, a claim that New Delhi has consistently denied, maintaining that the ceasefire was reached bilaterally.India-US trade talksLast week, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that India does not rush into trade agreements or enter them "with a gun to our head." He said India is currently holding active negotiations on trade pacts with several countries and blocs, including the European Union and the United States."We are in active dialogue with the EU. We are talking to the US, but we do not do deals in a hurry, and we do not do deals with deadlines or with a gun to our head," he said at the Berlin Global Dialogue in Germany on October 24.He added that any trade agreement should be approached with a long-term perspective. Goyal also said that India is seeking new markets to counter the impact of high tariffs.The US has imposed a 25 per cent tariff on India as a penalty for purchasing oil from Russia. This is in addition to the existing 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods entering the US market, meaning Indian exports are currently facing about 50 per cent additional import duties.read more :- CCI allows Balanagar farmers to sell cotton in Shadnagar
Telangana: CCI allows Balanagar farmers to sell cotton at Shadnagar procurement centerMahabubnagar (Jadcherla): In a major relief to cotton growers in the Balanagar mandal, Jadcherla MLA Janampally Aniruddha Reddy announced that the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) has agreed to allow farmers in the area to sell cotton at the Shadnagar procurement center.This assurance was given by CCI Chairman and Managing Director Lalit Kumar Gupta. Aniruddha Reddy and R&D Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy submitted a memorandum during their meeting at the CCI headquarters in Mumbai. The leaders discussed the problems faced by cotton farmers in the Jadcherla constituency and urged the corporation to take immediate corrective measures.MLA Aniruddha Reddy said in a media statement, "For years, farmers in the Balanagar mandal have had to travel more than 30 kilometers to Jadcherla to sell their cotton, while the Shadnagar center is only 5 kilometers away. This has resulted in unnecessary transportation costs and losses."In response, Gupta assured that the necessary permissions would be issued, allowing farmers to sell their produce at the Shadnagar cotton procurement center, eliminating their logistical problems. Highlighting the widespread crisis, Aniruddha Reddy explained that cotton cultivation in Telangana covers over 4.5 million acres, but this season, farmers have suffered heavy losses due to unseasonal rains, cyclonic storms, pest attacks, and rising input costs."Despite the announcement of the Minimum Support Price (MSP), many farmers are unable to access it in the market, leading to an economic crisis," he said.read more :- Rain destroys cotton crop, farmers worried
Incessant rains devastate cotton fields, leave AP farmers in distressVijayawada: Cotton growers across Andhra Pradesh are in deep distress as the incessant rains triggered by Cyclone Montha have ravaged vast stretches of standing cotton crop at a time when harvesting was about to begin. The fresh spell of heavy rains has compounded the woes of farmers who were already struggling due to delayed procurement operations by the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI).According to official data, cotton is cultivated in about 4.56 lakh hectares across the state this kharif season, with an estimated production of 8 lakh metric tonnes or 15.23 lakh bales. Farmers fear that at least 30 percent of the stock would be damaged due to the massive rains. The major cotton-growing districts include Kurnool, Palnadu, NTR, Guntur, and Anantapur. Farmers, who had been hoping to at least recover their cost of cultivation through the Minimum Support Price (MSP) operations, now fear that continuous rains and moisture may severely impact both the quality and yield of their produce.The MSP for the 2025–26 season has been fixed at ₹8,110 per quintal for long-staple varieties and ₹7,710 per quintal for medium-staple cotton.However, the delay in opening procurement centres and sluggish response from CCI have left farmers uncertain about timely payments and price realization. This has triggered widespread anxiety, especially in Palnadu, Kurnool, and Guntur districts, where thousands of hectares of ready-to-harvest cotton have been damaged.As per the agriculture marketing department, 30 procurement centres have been proposed across the state, of which 11 are located in agricultural market committees (AMCs) and the rest at ginning mills identified by the CCI. The govt has directed district administrations to ensure readiness of these centres with adequate facilities such as moisture meters, weighing bridges, fire safety systems, and digital infrastructure for farmer registration through the CM App and Kapas Kisan App.Joint collectors have been asked to coordinate with CCI and agricultural marketing officers to expedite MSP operations. VAAs have been instructed to register farmers, book slots, and create awareness about quality parameters and procurement norms to prevent distress sales. Despite these efforts, the prevailing weather conditions have disrupted field-level operations, and farmers are demanding immediate intervention by the state and central agencies to begin emergency procurement before the crop suffers irreversible damage. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether cotton growers can salvage any part of their investment from a season now marred by both nature and neglect.read more :- Rupee opened 05 paisa stronger at 88.21
