Cotton Corporation India, Navi MumbaiAppeal to Cotton BuyersCCI is extending attractive lifting period of 90 days on buying of just 5000 bales for MSME mills category, 10,000 bales for other spinning mills and 50,000 bales for Cotton Traders. The benefit of the scheme is available upto 30th September 2021. Therefore our esteemed buyers are advised to plan their purchases accordingly.
With new arrivals, cotton rates above MSPTrade estimates prices to fall by Nov as more bales hit the market The new cotton crop has begun arriving in northern markets, Karnataka and Telangala with prices of kapas (raw cotton) ruling at least 10 per cent higher than the minimum support price (MSP) levels fixed by the Centre for the new season starting October.The trade estimates the daily market arrivals at over 10,000 bales, bulk of it mainly in the North. Modal prices (rates at which most trade in the natural fibre takes place) of raw cotton are hovering between ₹6,400 and ₹7,000 per quintal across various markets, depending on the quality and moisture content. Prices are higher than the MSP of ₹5,726 per quintal.“Overall, the crop looks good in North India. The prices are in the ₹6,000-7,000 range, depending on moisture, which is 12-14 per cent,” said Sushil Phutela, Director, Indian Cotton Association Ltd in Bhatinda.The trade expects the North India crop to be better than last year’s 65 lakh bales. “The crop won’t be less than last year. The rains are seen boosting yields, while in some areas there has been some impact. Overall, we expect the crop to be 1-2 lakh bales higher than last year,” Phutela said.Cotton acreage this year is lower by 5.75 per cent at 119.66 lakh hectares, as per Agriculture Ministry’s latest data. “The overall crop condition is good as on date and, based on the feedback from the 10 growing States, the yield will be much higher this year and quality very good,” said Atul Ganatra, President, Cotton Association of India (CAI), the apex trade body. CAI is expected to come out with crop projections by the month-end.Sporadic arrivalsCAI had earlier estimated closing stocks for the crop year 2020-21 as on September 30 at 82.50 lakh bales of 170 kg each. Sporadic arrivals have also started from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and Gujarat. “Kapas prices are ₹6,900-7,500 per quintal, while cottonseed trades in the ₹3,700-4,000 range. Arrivals will increase after October 15 and there are chances of prices coming down, but unlikely to go below MSP till November-end. It all depends on the crop size and market arrivals,” said Ramanuj Das Boob, a sourcing agent for spinning mills and multinational companies in Raichur.Phutela said the demand is slow as most of the spinning mills have covered their needs till December. If the moisture comes down, demand may improve over the next couple of weeks. “I think by mid-November, the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) may enter the markets in half growing regions. Many feel that the CCI may not get a chance to enter the market as minimum prices are above MSP. However, with cottonseed prices coming pressure, raw cotton may also come down below MSP by mid-November,” Phutela said.
All types of footwear, most textile products to have GST of 12%Council decides to do away with inverted duty structure All footwear, irrespective of prices will attract Goods & Services Tax (GST) at 12 per cent while barring cotton, all textile products including readymade garments will have GST at the rate of 12 per cent. This will be possible as GST Council has decided to do away with inverted duty structure (IDS). It could result in rise in prices of low-priced products.An ‘Inverted duty structure’ means a higher duty on inputs and a lower levy on finished products. This results in a higher refund to industry which affects the cash flows for companies and revenue collections for the government. Also, consumers do not gain anything,In its meeting on Friday, the Council decided: “GST rate changes in order to correct inverted duty structure, in footwear and textiles sector, as was discussed in earlier Council Meeting and was deferred for an appropriate time, will be implemented with effect from January 1, 2022.” However, post the meeting, rates were not announced.Textile sectorAn official said that with the correction of inverted duty structure in textile sector the rate on cotton yarn will continue to be 5 per cent while it will be 12 per cent on mandmade fibre, yarn, readymade garment, fabric and dying. As of now for garments and made-up articles, rate is 5 per cent of the sale value not exceeding ₹1,000 per piece and 12 per cent for articles of sale value exceeding ₹1,000 per piece. Here on, all will have GST at the rate of 12 per cent.

ICE COTTON SUMMARYCotton heads for third straight weekly fall on firmer dollar"The dollar is on the rise again. But the demand has been pretty good, issue is merchants don't have their hands on the crop yet, and cotton at 90 cents is a rich price," said Rogers Varner, president of Varner Brokerage in Cleveland, Mississippi. "On the technical front, cotton prices have good support around 92 cents and we have strong resistance at 95 cents." The dollar rose to a near four-week high against its rivals, potentially limiting demand for the natural fiber by making it more expensive for buyers holding other currencies.On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly export sales report showed exports of 237,500 running bales (RB) of cotton, up 53% from the previous week. Sentiment on the Wall Street remained subdued as U.S. stock indexes slipped with major technology firms weighing the most, while uncertainty over higher corporate taxes and an upcoming Federal Reserve meeting kept traders to the sidelines.Total futures market volume fell by 8,392 to 11,842 lots.

Container prices soar as shortage hits exportersAverage prices up 18% and 37% for 20- and 40-ft boxes The average prices of containers rose by 18 per cent and 37 per cent for 20-foot and 40-foot dry containers (DC), respectively, at Indian ports between May and September, adding to the overheated container freight rates that has roiled India’s export-import (EXIM) trade.Hamburg-based Container xChange says that the continued surge in container prices and growing imbalance of container availability in India is negatively impacting and leading to supply chain slowdown, a problem which will continue to grow up until 2022 and beyond.Container xChange is an online platform that brings together all stakeholders of the container logistics industry to buy, sell and lease shipping containers.Data trends and analysis by the firm on the impact of global supply chain disruption on the Indian container logistics market indicates that there is further rise in the historically high prices of 20 - foot and 40-foot dry containers at Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai ports.Rise in pricesCompared to May, in September, prices for 20-foot dry containers rose by 18 per cent while the prices for 40-foot containers increased by 37 per cent, according to the online platform.The average price of a 20-foot dry container in September is $2,462 (₹1,81,320.15), up from $2,078 in May. The pre-pandemic price was about $1,000 for 20-foot dry container and $2,000 for 40-foot dry container.The average price of a 40 - foot dry high cube container is $ 4,193.75 (₹ 3,08,859.20), a 37 per cent increase over the price in May which was $ 3,041.84 (₹ 2,24,023.91).The Container Availability Index (CAx) by Container xChange, a tool used to monitor inbound and outbound volumes of containers for ports globally, indicates that the inbound containers are at an all-time high since 2019 by about 4 times at Chennai port (and similarly other ports in India), indicating an all-time high imbalance of inbound and outbound containers at the port.“The growing imbalance of inbound and outbound containers being experienced in the Container Availability Index (CAx) at major Indian ports (including Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai) is an indication of two key market conditions – exports are being impacted immensely (inspite of a record month in July for India’s exports) and imbalance of inbound containers over outbound containers is getting worse by the week,” Christian Roeloffs, CEO and Co-founder, Container xChange told BusinessLine.“The CAx values at major Indian ports are rising because exporters are facing hurdles to export their goods from India. The rising container freight and spot costs over the past months, containers stuck in other locations which delays their cargo and vessel capacity issues are some pain points,” said Johannes Schlingmeier, Co-founder and CEO, Container xChange.The costs have been skyrocketing since the beginning of the year 2021 and continue to soar higher every week. Therefore, the number of containers that could have taken off from India to its destination has slowed down, mirroring a trend observed in the global supply chain slow down, he added.
