No need to wait in the market: Farmers can book slots to sell cotton using this mobile app
New Delhi: To make cotton procurement easier for farmers, the Government of India’s cotton procurement agency, Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), has launched the ‘Kapas Kisan’ mobile app. Through this app, farmers can register online and sell cotton at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) by booking slots directly from their mobile phones.
Every year, lakhs of farmers sell their cotton in mandis, but many do not receive the benefit of MSP and often depend on middlemen. To address this issue, CCI has introduced this digital platform, allowing farmers to complete the entire process from home.
Farmers can download the ‘Kapas Kisan’ app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. They are advised to complete registration by September 30 to be eligible for MSP procurement.
Key Features of the Kapas Kisan App:
Online Registration: Farmers can register using Aadhaar and mobile number
Slot Booking: Select convenient date and time for cotton sale
Payment Tracking: Check payment status after sale directly on mobile
No Middlemen: Direct government procurement ensures fair pricing
Transparency: Fully digital process reduces chances of irregularities
With this app, farmers will receive MSP-based payments directly into their bank accounts, ensuring a faster, safer, and more transparent cotton procurement system.
