India backward in sowing of Kharif cropIndia has lagged behind in sowing of Kharif crops for the year 2022 as compared to last year. In fact, according to the data released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, summer crops were planted in 40.67 million hectares till July 8, 2022. Which is 9.3 percent less than a year ago. Experts believe that due to unequal distribution of rains, farmers have lagged behind in planting major Kharif crops like rice, maize, soybean. However, good rains are expected in the next week and farmers have chances to recover the sown crops.Summer sown crops are sown in the monsoon months of June and July, while harvesting begins in October. The ministry said that about 7.2 million hectares were planted with rice, which is significantly less than the 9.5 million hectares last year. If there is not enough rain in these areas in the next few days, there may be a decline in the area and yield.India has received normal rainfall since the start of the monsoon season on June 1, but major rice-growing regions have received 46 per cent less rainfall. In July, the most important month for planting summer crops, India is likely to receive monsoon rains between 94% and 106% of the long-period average, the Meteorological Department said last week. The dealer said sowing has picked up pace in the southern and central states in the last few days following good rains in the region.With India being the world's largest exporter of rice, and accounting for over 40% of global rice trade, a reduction in production could force New Delhi to curb rice exports. Soybean was planted in about 54 lakh hectares, which is 22 percent less than a year ago. Corn was planted on 3.18 million hectares, and was down 24%. Sowing of sugarcane and cotton remained almost unchanged in 5.3 million hectares and 8.5 million hectares respectively.

Golden is the future of the textile industry Discussion with Kiran Bhandari, owner of Aurangabad's ginning factoryAccording to one information, the garment industry is such an industry that directly and indirectly provides employment to 27 percent of the population in the country. It is clear from this that the future of this industry is very bright. Farmers from all over the country have been attracted towards cotton cultivation this year due to the price of cotton that the farmers got last year. Talking about Aurangabad itself, this time around 25 percent cotton sleeping has increased here. Some ginners have also made good profits, although the profit making ginners remain only 10 to 15 per cent as most of the giners are unable to stock the goods due to rising prices. This information was given by Jinar Kiran Bhandari of Osmanpura, Aurangabad.Due to low demand, the price decreasedIn a special conversation with SIS, Kiranji told that there are many farmers in our area who are doing cotton cultivation this time except soybean and sugarcane. Farmers are confident that this year also they will get good profits from cotton. However, looking at the current scenario, it is being estimated that this time the price of cotton in our area should remain around Rs 7500 or so. A major reason for the fall in prices is the fall in consumption and demand.Proper chain system between seller and buyerBeing a Xiner, he told that the biggest problem for the Xiner is the lack of a proper business channel between the buyer and the seller. Gener, whether small or big, takes the help of a broker to sell his goods. In such a situation, when the price of cotton bales is high, then all the goods are sold, but when the prices are low, the mills return the goods many times. In such a situation, a Xiner has to bear a big loss and in this whole process he is dependent only on the broker.Industry will benefit ifGovernment should cancel RCM.There should be a proper channel between buyer and seller.Labor cost should be a little cheaper.
