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*

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 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.

Inflation fears: Corn, cotton, soybean prices surge as commodities continue relentless riseA combination of diverse factors-new Covid epicentres, labour shortages, supply chain disruptions, political instabilities, natural calamities, energy crisis, etc is leading to the current price spikes across several agricultural commodities, says a new report.Constantly rising demand not being met by equivalent supplies is one of the primary reasons for prices spiraling upwards. Beyond high demand, rising costs of common expenses like sea freight and energy, labour and raw material shortages, are responsible for the price rallies seen in staple agricultural commodities like soybean, corn, cotton, sugar, coffee, wheat, and palm oil.On October 25, 2021, the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), a financial benchmark designed to provide diversified exposure to physical commodities via futures contracts, peaked at $105.8, a six-year high. On the contrary, throughout 2019, before the coronavirus shook the world, the index averaged just close to $80. Interestingly, the World Bank too significantly increased its price forecasts for many agricultural commodities in their October 2021 release compared to the October 2020 release. Market sentiments during the depths of the pandemic were starkly different from what they are in 2021.Overall, in the past year, Covid-19 and the resulting shipping crisis brought about a massive challenge for small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), who were trying to stay afloat and continue business as usual. “Processors who were buying a commodity, processing it, and then selling it struggled because they were impacted by prices across all markets - the buying and selling side. But larger companies that possessed infrastructure, from plantations, processing plants to warehouses, etc., could procure for the entire year, store the crops during the downtime and utilize the stocks when demand increased. The larger hold a business had on the entire supply chain, the easier it was to survive covid-19 and unfortunately, MSMEs were stretched to their fullest capacities,” he added in the statement.Drip Capital’s research further stated that some agro commodities exhibited significant volatility over the last two years. Since December 2019, corn futures, which are traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), are up by over 50% -$5.7 per bushel. From now on, rising crude oil prices are one determinant that could reverse the downward pressure on corn prices towards the usual $4/bushel average.Even cotton prices are on a high. Cotton futures on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) have been up almost 80% since December 2019. They are trading around the $1.2 a pound handle after ten years, primarily due to tight supplies. In India, the attack of pink bollworm pests has raised concerns over reduced supplies, prompting the Cotton Association of India (CAI) to predict a 38% drop in exports in the 2021-2022 season. While its reserves will mainly determine the commodity’s prices in 2022, the level of apparel demand from Europe will also be an essential factor.Soybean futures traded on the CBOT are up almost 40%, compared to the $9/bushel average during H1 2020. In May 2021, soybean prices went up to $16.2/bushel after eight years. However, the current market sentiment seems to be that prices will revert to the average of $10/bushel, usually seen by the end of the year. On the other hand, sugar futures on the ICE have risen over 50% since December 2019. They are trading around 20 cents per lb, close to levels not seen since early 2017. Globally, stakeholders in this industry are expecting lower supplies owing to poor weather conditions.Agriculture commodity prices across many markets had rallied in the first half of 2021, and some are still rising. But, as supply catches up, stocks are replenished and socio-economic conditions stabilize, speculativ
