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.

MSP increased only by 5 percent, while inflation is increasing wildlySIS special conversation with Saurashtra Kisan Sangh leader Dilip Bhai SakiaThe government increases the MSP every year but the farmers are not getting as much benefit as they should. The reason for this is that the rate of MSP is not increased according to the rate at which inflation rises. This time too, the rate of MSP has been increased only by 5 percent whereas inflation is increasing by 10 to 20 percent every year. Being the leader of the farmers, I appeal to the government that keeping in mind the interest of the farmers, the MSP should be increased at least as much as dearness allowance is increased for the employees. This is to say of Dilipbhai Sakia, leader of Saurashtra Kisan Sangh. On Wednesday, the SIS team had a special discussion with him on the matter of increasing the MSP by the government.MSP should increase by 10 percent every yearDuring the conversation, he told that last year the minimum support price of medium fiber cotton was Rs 5726 and that of long fiber cotton was Rs 6025. Which has now increased to Rs.6080 and Rs.6380 respectively. This is happy news for the farmers, but this happiness is like cumin in the mouth of a camel. Keeping in mind the rapid inflation, especially diesel and petrol prices in the country, the MSP should be increased by at least 10 percent every year, only then the farmers will be able to survive.Up to 25 percent more crop expected in GujaratDilip Bhai said that if the government makes available the necessary resources like water, electricity, crop prices and animal protection to the farmers at the appropriate time, then half of the problems of the farmers will end. Regarding the prices of cotton this year, he said that the prices have been good, This is the reason that the crop of cotton will come more in the coming season. About 20 to 25 percent more cotton is expected in Gujarat.
