In Sirsa, private players are buying cotton at up to Rs 9,700 per quintal whereas the government has fixed the MSP at Rs 5,925

Sirsa: The low cotton yield this season due to excessive rain and pink bollworm attack has resulted in the crop selling at over 60 per cent higher than the minimum support price (MSP). In Sirsa, private players are buying cotton at up to Rs 9,700 per quintal whereas the government has fixed the MSP at Rs 5,925. Mohit Sharma, an official of the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), said unseasonal rains in September last year followed by pink bollworm attack had not only hit the yield, but also affected the crop’s quality. “International prices too are quite high this time, which is having a bearing on the local market,” he said. Sharma said the CCI hadn’t made any purchases yet, though their infrastructure was ready. “Farmers aren’t selling to us. Based on quality, cotton is fetching Rs 9,000 to Rs 9,700 per quintal,” he said.

A girdawari report had mentioned that about 50 to 70 per cent of the crop was lost due to rain and pink bollworm attack.
