Cotton and soya prices in India will be decided on the basis of demand and supply: Pasha Patel

Cotton and soya prices in India will be decided on the basis of demand and supply: Pasha PatelWhether it is cotton or any other crop, its price rise or fall depends on its demand and supply chain. If the production is less then the price increases, similarly if the production is high then the price goes down. The increase in cotton prices this season is also a result of the demand and supply chain. Talking about the coming season, it is certain that there will be an increase in the cotton crop in India, but even if the production of cotton at the global level is low, the farmers are likely to get the same good price as this year. It is said by the Maharashtra Agriculture Commission. Pasha Patel, former chairman ofGood move to increase MSPPasha ji, who is working continuously in the interest of farmers, expressed happiness over the government's increase in MSP. He said that this step of the government will give relief to the farmers. Why the labor cost, petrol, diesel, fertilizer etc. have all increased rapidly, so the cost of the farmer has also increased. Increasing MSP will help farmers in balancing this cost.Government to increase labor costPasha ji told that the biggest problem in agriculture for the farmers these days is the non-availability of labor and the rapidly increasing temperature on the earth. They tell that there is 250 labor payment in my village. It is very difficult in this time of inflation to earn a full day's wages on such a small amount. I appeal to the government to make some new policies and increase the labor cost.it is necessary to save the environmentHe told that according to the report of an organization called Creda, 40 percent of the grain production will stop after 2030 due to the increasing temperature on the earth. This is a very serious matter for all of us. Keeping this serious topic in mind, Pashaji has started awareness work on global warming. At present we are promoting bamboo cultivation. Because burning of coal gives 33 percent smoke while burning bamboo gives only 3 percent smoke while both have the same caloric value.Farmers shifting to soybeanTalking on the situation of cotton sleeping in Maharashtra, he said that sleeping has not started here yet. However, here the cotton belt is also shifting towards soybean because the prices of both the crops have increased. And it is easier for the farmers to maintain soybean cultivation than cotton. At present, soya is being planted in 42 lakh hectares and cotton in 40 lakh hectares in Punjab.

Punjab: With the end of the cotton sowing season, the area under cotton has seen 18 per cent less than last year.

Punjab: With the end of the cotton sowing season, the area under cotton has seen 18 per cent less than last year.Cotton cultivation in Punjab's Mansa district was recorded at 45,000 hectares, which is 7,000 hectares less than the 52,000 hectares recorded last year. A target of 64 thousand hectares has been set for the district.Despite the Punjab government setting a target of 4 lakh hectares under cotton to reduce land under paddy, the state has seen a decrease of 18 per cent compared to last year, when about 3.03 lakh hectares out of the then targeted 3.25 lakh hectares. Hectares were under cotton. Experts believe that this can increase the production of paddy in the state.Till June 9, cotton was sown on only 2.48 lakh hectares of land; Cotton sowing is almost complete. Also, Punjab could achieve only 62% of its target area this year.The cotton belt of Punjab includes Bathinda, Fazilka, Mansa, Muktsar, Moga, Barnala, Sangrur and Faridkot; Here's how each fared this year:The district saw the highest area under cotton this year, with a record 93,000 hectares under cotton, 2,000 less than last year.District Chief Agriculture Officer (CAO) Dr Resham Singh Sandhu said, “We were determined to cross the target of 1.03 lakh hectares, but erratic water supply created hurdles.”MansaCotton cultivation in the district was recorded at 45,000 hectares, which is 7,000 hectares less than the 52,000 hectares recorded last year. A target of 64 thousand hectares has been set for the district.Muktsar SahibThe district did not come close to its target of 50,000 hectares and recorded 32,000 hectares under cotton. Last year the crop was grown in 37,000 hectares in the district.BathindaCotton has been sown on 67,000 hectares of land in Bathinda; Last year, the crop was grown in 76,000 hectares in the district.Cotton districts like Barnala, Faridkot, Moga and Sangrur have sown cotton in 1,433 hectares, 2,850 hectares, 149 hectares and 1,244 hectares respectively this year.irregular water supplyWater scarcity was cited as the major reason for the breach in the Sirhind canal in the entire cotton area; Another reason cited was poor power supply due to which farmers were unable to use tube wells. Without electricity for hours, sowing of cotton was reduced.Officials of the Agriculture Department said that in the absence of supply of canal water during the cotton sowing season, many have written letters to the government for proper supply of electricity or canal water to run tube wells. Their demands were not heeded and water supply was disrupted in cotton-growing districts from the peak season of cotton sowing - May 8 till the end of the month, officials said.Officials also said that the pink bollworm pest attack on cotton last year was enough to discourage many farmers from not growing cotton and the 20 per cent reduction in wheat yield was another setback. For these reasons, many farmers wanted to grow crops like paddy instead of cotton as they would give good profits, he said.
