*Punjab deputy CM orders immediate completion of special girdawari to assess cotton crop loss**Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Wednesday directed to complete the work of special girdawari immediately to assess the actual damage to cotton crop by pink bollworm infestation.**Randhawa directed the financial commissioner (development) to ensure that the affected farmers be compensated before Diwali after completion of the special girdawari, so that the losses incurred by the farmers of the cotton belt could be compensated. In a statement here, the state's deputy chief minister said that after the attack of pink bollworm on the cotton crop in the Malwa belt, the affected areas were earlier visited under the leadership of the chief minister.**Agriculture Minister Randeep Singh Nabha said that from the next season of the cotton crop, mating disruption technology will be introduced to check infestation of pink bollworm.**High incidence of pink bollworm was reported on BG11 cotton yield in the Malwa region, which had adversely affected the crop yield, said the statement.**The current situation of the cotton farmers in Punjab is grave due to pink bollworm as most of the farmers have uprooted the crop and are demanding compensation from the government.**The minister directed all the department officials to introduce mating disruption technology which is considered the gold standard in crop protection and is well known in western countries and has been used in crops like grapes and apples over the years.**Several trials of this technology with the state agriculture universities and with farmers over the past four years have been done that show significant results across multiple states in India.**Punjab Agricultural University has also been conducting the trials of the product and has seen significant benefits to the farmers.**The technology is no-pump no-spray and the product is in the form of a paste which has to be applied by the farmer in three applications at a 30 days interval,**
*China power shortage to benefit textile exporters but high cotton prices a dampener**Textile exports from India have surged as companies rush to tap the increased demand for cotton and yarn across the world amid a decline in supplies from China.**Exports of cotton yarn grew 5.5 percent to about 1 million tonnes during FY21 and shipments spiked by about 60 percent to 448,000 tonnes during April-July this year, according to Bhagyashree Bhati, assistant director, industry research, Care Ratings.**Economists said there could be a further increase in India’s cotton and textile exports as China faces power shortages.**“The textile industries in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong, which are major hubs for the products, are affected due to power shortage. Another textile hub Xinjiang is affected due to labour issues and this has impacted textile exports from the country,” said OP Gulia, CEO (India) of SVP Global Ventures, a cotton yarn manufacturer.**China contributed about 39 percent of the world’s textile exports, with the US and Europe as its major markets, before the pandemic, according to experts. However, the country’s share has narrowed to 31 percent and analysts indicate that it could drop below 30 percent due to stalled production.**“Demand for textiles has picked up drastically as we emerge from the second wave and given the supply crunch in China, India can benefit,” said Gulia. “We are expecting a 28-30 percent increase in textile export revenue due to the developments in China.”**Prices surge**High demand for cotton and the supply shortfall have also led to a spike in cotton prices, which are at a decade high globally. India, too, witnessed a price rise, although it was relatively lower than in the international markets.**“Cotton prices of S-6 variety in India averaged at Rs 135 per kg during October 2020-August 2021, which is 6.6 percent lower than the average international prices of Cotlook A index at Rs 145 per kg during the period,” said Bhati.**Experts indicated that the high prices of cotton in India are also the result of higher exports. According to Hetal Gandhi, director, CRISIL Research, Indian cotton is available at lower prices than international cotton prices and any increase in international prices drives demand for Indian cotton. Apparel makers hit While high cotton prices have helped exports, apparel makers are struggling with rising input costs.**“Brands were reluctant to hike prices until recently due to the drop in consumer demand. But we are now asking brands – international as well as domestic – to increase prices and they might pass it to the end-consumer in the months ahead,” said Arvind Mathur, CEO, Raymond UCO Denim, a supplier to international and national brands.**Others are in a wait-and-watch mode and may increase prices of clothing products if high prices persist. However, experts indicated that the situation may not abate soon.**“In the global market, prices continued to remain under pressure due to a decline in end stocks, largely in India, Brazil and Turkey, leading to a wider demand-supply gap. Expected decline in acreage in China, India and Pakistan will put further pressure on prices going forward,” said Gandhi.*

Cotton Prices Surge to Highest Level in a DecadeChina buys up U.S. supplies of crop, even as Trump-era import ban limits use of Chinese-grown fiberCotton futures are trading at their highest price in about a decade, with growing Chinese demand being met in part by rising U.S. exports to China, a curiosity of Trump-era trade-war policies.Most-active U.S. cotton futures trading on the Intercontinental Exchange closed Tuesday up 3.8% at $1.09 a pound, keeping prices at their highest level since September 2011. Prices have risen 22% over the past 11 sessions.Higher clothing prices could eventually follow.Prices for other raw materials, such as lumber, have surged this year, because of high demand and supply-chain kinks that have kept goods from getting to customers who want them. Prices for other U.S. crops, such as corn and wheat, have jumped this year amid drought conditions in the U.S. and abroad. Cotton shows the sometimes-unexpected effects that trade policy can have on prices.Last year, President Donald Trump banned U.S. imports of clothing and other products made of cotton from the Xinjiang region, China’s largest cotton-producing area. The administration said at the time that there was evidence that the products were made with forced labor by the Uyghur ethnic group.“China has become more active in the world market,” he said, adding that the U.S. can offer the volume and quality of cotton that China wants.Yet, China’s robust demand for cotton and other raw materials could peter out. Power outages have swept through Chinese provinces, with the government sometimes forcing factories to shut down to save energy. The National Bureau of Statistics in Beijing reported Thursday that the country’s manufacturing activity contracted in September, ending an 18-month expansion streak.“Power rationing will constrain industrial activity until demand weakens enough to bring the domestic electricity market back into equilibrium,” said Julian Evans-Pritchard, senior China economist with Capital Economics, in a note last week.
*Cotton price hits decade high**With just a little break, cotton prices have again started to go up in international markets, mainly because of increased imports by China, the largest consumer worldwide, and a rise in demand following the reboot of economic activities across the globe.**Every pound of cotton was traded at $1.06 – the highest in the last decade, according to the New York futures market. Earlier in 2010, the price reached $1.6 per pound.* *Besides, cotton prices registered a 35% hike over the last 10 months.**The rise in prices of cotton, the key raw material for making clothing items, will have a ripple effect on yarn prices, eventually disrupting apparel shipments, said industry people.**While talking to journalists on Tuesday, Mohammad Ali Khokon, president at Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA), said proforma invoices that they will issue for November to sell yarns might see a 15% hike in prices.**A proforma invoice is a preliminary bill or invoice used to request payment from the committed buyer for goods or services before they are supplied.**That is why he has requested apparel exporters to keep the additional cost on yarn purchases in mind while negotiating prices with buyers.**Shahidullah Azim, vice-president at Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, however, told The Business Standard that if cotton prices increase in the global markets, yarn prices in Bangladesh should rise at least after three months.* *It will not be logical to hike prices before that, otherwise, apparel makers will have to go for imports instead of sourcing domestically, they added.**"If we cannot survive, they [spinners] will not too," he said.**Khorshed Alam, chairman at the Little Star Group, said a rise in global consumption of cotton following the reopening of economic activities globally has led to a rise in its prices.**Besides, China is now stocking up on a big amount of cotton to meet their future needs, maybe foreseeing any possible crisis, he also said.**"When I was negotiating with an Indian supplier for importing 200 tonnes of cotton, its price went up by $.02 per pound," he added.**Prices of cotton had been rising worldwide since the beginning of this year, leading to a surge in yarn and fabric prices.**Prices of cotton had been rising worldwide since the beginning of this year, leading to a surge in yarn and fabric prices.**RMG entrepreneurs have claimed that local spinning mills have been charging much higher than in the global market, while spinners have repeatedly clarified that they hiked prices in line with cotton prices.**Both the parties, however, recently reached an agreement on pricing of yarns.**In FY21, Bangladesh, the second largest exporter, earned around $39 billion in merchandise exports, of which apparel items accounted for over 31 billion. The country also stands at the second position in cotton imports as in the last fiscal year, it imported over 8 million bales of cotton, mainly from African countries.*
*Cabinet may approve mega textile park scheme on Wednesday**The Union Cabinet is likely to approve on Wednesday a scheme proposed by the textiles ministry to setup seven mega investment textile parks (MITRA) to attract investments into the sector and generate employment.**Officials said the scheme could be taken up by the Cabinet and if approved, it will pave the way to set up mega parks with integrated facilities and plug-and-play infrastructure on over 1,000 acres in the next three years, on the lines of China and Vietnam.**“It is likely to be cleared by the Cabinet and some states have already shown interest in setting up the parks,” said an official.**Announced in Budget FY22, the MITRA parks will also have uninterrupted water and power supply, common utilities and research and development labs. They are intended to have and quick turnaround time to minimise transportation losses, aimed to attract big-ticket investments in the sector.**States will have to ensure road connectivity and power availability for the parks.**The parks are crucial to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). From April 2000 to September 2020, India’s textile sector received Rs 20,468.62 crore, or $3.4 billion, of FDI, which is just 0.69% of the total FDI inflows during the period.**Disclaimer: The above content is non-editorial, and TIL hereby disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, relating to the same.

U.S. trade chief intends to have 'frank' talks with ChinaU.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said she intends to have frank conversations with her counterpart in China in the coming days and discuss progress made under the phase one trade agreement.In a speech delivered to a U.S. think tank, Tai said the U.S. will seek to negotiate with Beijing about its industrial policies, but the goal is "not to inflame trade tensions with China."China and the U.S. signed the phase one trade deal in January 2020 as a part of phased mitigation between the world's two largest economies' tariff battle since 2018.According to the deal, China will purchase an additional $200 billion worth of U.S. goods and services, including $32 billion in U.S. farm products, during the two-year period from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2021.As of August, China's purchases of covered agricultural products reached 92 percent of the year-to-date target in the deal, data from the Chinese import statistics showed, or 89 percent, using the U.S. export data, a tracker of think tank Peterson Institute for International Economies showed.Tai also announced that the U.S. will launch "a targeted tariff exclusion process" imposed on Chinese goods by the previous U.S. administration.Major U.S. business groups called the additional tariffs "costly and burdensome" in a letter to the Biden administration in August. They added that many U.S. retailers chose to absorb the cost of U.S. imposed duties on Chinese goods or passing them to consumers.Tariffs have failed to bash off the will for bilateral trade. In the first eight months of 2021, China-U.S. trade surged 36.6 percent from the same period of last year, reaching $470.3 billion, among which China's export to the U.S. raised by 33.3 percent while imports jumped 48 percent, China customs data showed."To expand China-U.S. trade cooperation, as we have always emphasized, both sides should work together to create an atmosphere and conditions to promote the implementation," said Gao Feng, spokesperson of China's Ministry of Commerce, responding to a question on the possibility of China achieving the imports goals in the deal on a press conference in late August.
Cotton crop at risk again, Vidharbh farmers seek govt aidExtended rains are now posing risk to cotton, the main crop of Vidarbha. Harvest in a number of pockets is reported to be delayed by 20 to 25 days as the fields are still wet. This has prevented cotton boll formation to the full capacity, in turn, holding up the harvest.If farmers in Vidarbha are still hoping for some sunshine that may save the crop, cotton growers in neighbouring region of Marathwada are already reported to be in losses due to excessive rains. Once it gets dry, there are chances of pink bollworm pest affecting the crop, said experts.This is the second crop at stake after soyabean. Farmers in both Vidarbha and Marathwada have reported losses as their soyabean output was reduced to 50%. The rates of soyabean too have halved to Rs4,500 from Rs9,000 in the beginning of the harvest season as low quality is one of the reasons.Last year, cotton growers had to face low rates due to Covid pandemic. The pandemic restrictions had also hit the MSP (minimum support price) procurement and there were reports of pink bollworm infestation too.Officials in the agriculture department contacted by TOI said there are losses, but only in low lying areas of Vidarbha. There may be losses, but not as much to create a crisis, said the officials.In Yavatmal, a group of farmers had blocked the road to highlight the situation. Their demand is that state government should carry out assessment of the losses and declare a compensation.“Cotton arrivals, which begin by Dussehra, may be delayed by 20 days or so,” said Sudhir Kothari, a director in Hinganghat APMC, one of the major markets for cotton.President of Shetkari Sanghatana Anil Ghanwat said farmers of Marathwada are already in losses. Fields located near dams are already flooded because gates have been opened due to heavy rainfall. “Shortage of soyabean is expected this time, so are the cotton supplies,” he said.Former director of Central Institute of Cotton Research (CICR) CD Mayee said even as the situation in Vidarbha is under control, there are major losses in Marathwada. There are chances of pink bollworm infestation once it gets dry. There are also reports of cotton bolls rotting, he said.Vijay Jawandhia, farm activist from Wardha, said the crisis may also hit the farm workers’ earnings. In some places, the crops are not even in a condition to be harvested.Farmers TOI talked to in different districts said there are chances that the yield may be reduced to half, if there is no dry spell soon.SiS Commited to update you on all textile related news real time.RegardsTeam SisAny query plz call 9111977771https://wa.me/919111977775
Punjab farmers worried as rain delays paddy, cotton harvest in MalwaPunjab’s cotton growers are left worried about the loss of quality of their ready-to-harvest produce after untimely rain lashed south Punjab on Monday evening.Farmers of Bathinda and Mansa districts said they were already braving losses caused by the pink bollworm attack and the inclement weather would hit them further.Cotton and paddy are the main kharif crops sown in seven districts of the state’s southern belt.Picking of cotton is underway, whereas paddy harvesting in Malwa is yet to pick up.The wet conditions will now stall harvesting till the weekend.Sudden showers damage raw cotton at mandisAccording to Punjab Agricultural University’s observatory at the Bathinda-based regional research centre, Bathinda district recorded 70mm of rainfall on Monday evening. Strong winds were reported from Bathinda, Fazilka, Muktsar and other adjoining places.Unsold raw cotton at several mandis of Muktsar, Bathinda and Fazilka was damaged due to sudden showers in the evening.Lodging of crops reported: State agri deptState agriculture department joint director Gurvinder Singh said rainfall at this juncture would affect the quality of cotton bolls and paddy grains.“Initial field inputs suggest lodging of crops of cotton and paddy at several places across the state. Rains are undesirable for kharif crops as paddy and cotton are ready for harvest,” he said.Harvesting held up for at least five daysBathinda chief agriculture officer Manjit Singh said cotton harvesting would be stalled for at least five days following rain in various parts of Malwa region“Unfriendly weather conditions would also push paddy harvesting, that is yet to gain momentum, by 3-4 days. Farmers are being advised to delay harvest,” he said.Sharanjit Singh from Mann Khera village of Mansa district said inclement weather would be a double whammy for farmers.“Pink bollworm attack has done considerable damage to the crop. Delay in the harvesting of cotton and paddy would lead to a delay in wheat sowing in the area. We are keeping fingers crossed to tide over these challenging times,” he said.
