Maharashtra: Cotton Sale Surge Amid Price Hike
Murtizapur : As the sowing days are approaching, there is ease in filling seeds through cotton sale.
Last year, the sowing of cotton crop had increased a lot. Due to this, many farmers got good income from cotton per acre. Cotton was getting a price of 7000 to 7400 rupees per quintal. But cotton farmers were hoping that this price would increase and cotton would go up to 10 thousand rupees per quintal. Therefore, many farmers had kept their goods at home.
At present, due to increase in cotton prices, the price has gone up to 8 thousand rupees per quintal. Sowing days are coming near, in such a situation, there is no possibility of much increase in the price, so the arrival of cotton in the market has increased due to farmers putting their goods for sale.
It was told that 300 to 400 quintals of cotton is coming to Om Ginning and Pressing Factory here every day. If the prices are good in the season, this arrival increases to more than 1 thousand quintals per day. Many farmers still have stored cotton, and the farmers waiting for the price hike of Rs 10 thousand per quintal are quite disappointed. But due to slight improvement in the price of cotton, cotton producing farmers have taken out the stored cotton for sale.
