The unimaginable rise in the price of cotton has attracted everyone. Be it farmers or traders or the government, all are looking at cotton as a profit making crop. Many farmers are leaving their traditional farming and turning to cotton farming. Governments are also promoting cotton as a profit making crop at their level. Recently, the Telangana government has prepared an incentive scheme for farmers to plant 70 to 75 lakh acres of cotton in the coming Kharif season, which will be about 35 lakh acres more than paddy. . Along with this, the Telangana government is trying its best to ensure that the farmers do not face any shortage of fertilizers or seeds for the cotton crop.
Sowing is dependent on monsoon
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has given green signal to the crop plan prepared by the Department of Agriculture and Horticulture for the upcoming Kharif season. And directed the Agriculture Department to make the farmers aware about the cultivation of profitable crops especially cotton. Agriculture Department's M Raghunandanarao has confirmed that this time 70 to 75 acres of cotton will be promoted in Telangana, although the actual sowing will also depend on the monsoon. If the rains are early and good, the chances of a good crop can increase. This time in Telangana, cotton is being encouraged more than paddy, as cotton prices have reached a record high of Rs 13,000 per quintal this season.
Telangana cotton demand in international market
Apart from Telangana, awareness campaigns are being run by the government to cultivate cotton in Haryana, Punjab, Maharashtra, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. In order to promote indigenous cotton, the Haryana government is providing incentives up to Rs 3,000 per acre to the farmers, while the Punjab and Haryana governments are running awareness campaigns to save the cotton crop from pink bollworm disease. One of the reasons for promoting cotton cultivation in Telangana is that the demand for cotton in the international market is very high.
