Cotton prices to soften as arrivals set to increase, says CAICotton prices in India are expected to soften from their peak levels of around ₹8,000-8,800 a quintal (raw cotton) as the arrivals gain momentum, stated the chief of the top cotton body Cotton Association of India (CAI).Acknowledging that the cotton arrivals in India have been delayed partly due to the unseasonal rains and other factors, Atul Ganatra, President, CAI, stated that “cotton prices in India will fall once the arrivals pick up.”Addressing the 99th Annual General Meeting of the trade body on November 30, Ganatra expressed no need for restrictive measures to tame the spiralling prices, which have crossed ₹8,000 per quintal in several markets. “It does not require implementation of any restrictive measures to tame the cotton prices against the long- term interest of the entire cotton value chain including farmers,” Ganatra said adding that better realisations for cotton growers will encourage them to bring larger area into cotton next year.Regarding Indian cotton’s competitiveness in the international market, Ganatra stated that it is traditionally traded at a discount in the international markets compared with other competing countries. “Imposition of duty and other retrograde measures, when implemented, send a wrong signal and raise questions about the credibility of the whole country as a regular cotton supplier to the international market, thus playing a very vital role in attracting discounts,” he said.“Although farmers have a protection in Minimum Support Price, yet they deserve an opportunity to earn international prices like their counterparts in USA, Australia, Brazil and other developed countries. Therefore, at CAI we, believe in a free trade policy without any fetters,” Ganatra said.India enjoys a competitive advantage globally with its cheaper cotton prices. “Although Indian cotton prices have risen by about 58% during the last one year due to the strong fundamentals, yet they are still the cheapest in the world,” Ganatra said, adding that the comparable price rise in the international market as reflected in the Cotlook A index is much higher at 63%.Processed ginned cotton in India was quoted at ₹64,500 per candy (356 kg) on November 30, up from ₹57,000 quoted at the beginning of the season on October 1, 2021.

Rains, HTBT, pink bollworm down cotton yields by 20-25%"Late rains due to La Nina and pink bollworm incidence are the major reasons for poor yields and production in cotton this year Untimely rains, poor quality hybrid seeds used in HTBT (herbicide tolerant biotechnology) cotton seeds and incidence of pink bollworm in some areas have resulted in a severe drop in yields in the just concluded kharif season.Despite a huge demand for the fibre crop in the domestic and international markets, thousands of farmers are not able to cash in on a high price situation in several mandis.Industry experts peg the drop in yields and production by up to 20-25 per cent.“The heavy rain caused by Cyclone Gulab in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have damaged the standing crop of cotton at many places. Excess rainfall in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Telangana could affect yield of cotton, which is in the flowering stage,” a Market Intelligence report by the Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU) has said.M Prabhakara Rao, President of the National Seed Association of India, has said that late rains due to La Nina and pink bollworm incidence are the major reasons for poor yields and production in cotton this year.“Use of poor quality seeds supplied in the name of 4G (fourth generation Bt seeds) in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra is also an important reason for the drop in yields.

*Unable to run units to capacity for want of enough raw cotton, ginners face losses in Punjab**Most ginning factories working between 25-50% of capacity while nearly 10 units in Bathinda and Mansa districts of Punjab are lying shut**All 82 cotton ginning units of Punjab are unable to keep their operations running to capacity due to a shortage of nearly one-fourth of the required natural fibre in the market.**shut in Bathinda and Mansa.**A leading cotton ginner from Malout in Muktsar Bhagwan Bansal said against the average minimum requirement of 150 bales or 750 quintals per day, meagre 200 quintal cotton is available for processing. “A cotton ginning unit operator has to pay about ₹10 lakh fixed electricity charges for the nine-month season from September 1 onwards. As the pest attack has severely hit crop production, we are unable to run factories. We have to pay fixed charges even when electricity is not used,” he said.**For the current season, ginners were expecting 60 lakh quintal raw cotton after Punjab saw an increase of 25% area under cotton. As per Punjab Mandi Board data, different districts of south Malwa had recorded sales of 8.60 lakh quintals till November 27.**Board authorities opine the production this year may be around 25 lakh quintals while the industry say cotton arrival may touch the 30-35 lakh quintal mark.**Punjab Cotton Mills and Ginning Association president Suresh Bansal said owing to the negligent attitude of the state government, 76% of factories closed down since 2005. He blames the absence of a dedicated policy for agriculture and the industrial sector in Punjab.**“Punjab had 335 ginning factories 16 years ago that came down to 82 in 2021. In 2005, factories were ginning 18 lakh bales or 90 lakh quintals in a season and in 2020-21 kharif season, Punjab produced 49 lakh quintals,” he said.**“After irrigation system strengthened in over last decade, farmers of the semi-arid region of Malwa switched from the traditional cotton to less labour-intensive crop of non-basmati rice. Kotkapura town used to be a major purchase centre where 20-lakh quintal cotton was a regular feature 10-12 years ago. In 2020-21, the entire Faridkot district registered the arrival of mere 50,000 quintals. It shows the government has failed to set its priorities right,” said Bansal.* *SiS Commited to update you on all textile related news real time.**Regards**Team Sis**Any query plz call 9111977771*Smartinfoindia.com*https://wa.me/919111977775*

There is a cycle of pressure in the market. And it lasts for some time.Even after the recent decline, the Indian market has been the best performer this year as compared to other countries. Going forward we will see more foreign money coming into the Indian markets as its long term growth story still remains strong and currently we remain strong in the long term bull market.But any correction under this time pressure gives an opportunity to choose quality stocks available in the market at good valuations. Due to all these reasons, there is temporary pressure on the market due to the selling of FIIs in the Indian markets. The fundamentals of the Indian economy are strong.Company's performance will also be good in the coming quarter. However, valuations of some stocks look very expensive. Due to this, profit has also come in them. Moreover, at present, domestic institutional investors are also not buying enough to make up for the selling by foreign institutional investors. Due to which there is pressure in the market. But this is a temporary phase. The long term outlook for the Indian markets remains strong.The year 2021 can be called the year of IPO. This has been the best year for IPO. Out of 51 IPOs listed since January, 38 are those that are trading above their offer prices.
