The biggest blow to America, which is competing with India! Textiles, gems, jewelry... India's exports increased.India Export Growth 2025 Textiles, gems, jewelry, marine products: Since US President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on India, US exports have declined. This will have a significant impact on India's textiles, gems, jewelry, and marine products. However, the volume is small. When the US closed its doors to India through tariffs, other countries welcomed Indian products. India's exports of textiles, gems, jewelry, and marine products to countries other than the US have increased significantly.Data from the Ministry of Commerce shows that India is selling its goods to various countries and is not solely dependent on the US. Demand for these products has increased in countries like the UAE, Vietnam, Belgium, and Saudi Arabia. Due to increasing demand in Asia, Europe, and West Asia, India's exports to these regions have increased significantly.How much did marine products increase?According to the data, India's seafood exports grew 15.6 percent year-on-year to $4.83 billion between January and September 2025. This growth was primarily driven by rising demand for seafood in countries other than the United States. While the United States remains the largest seafood export market, with India exporting $1.44 billion, the highest growth was seen in Vietnam (100.4 percent), Belgium (73.0 percent), and Thailand (54.4 percent). This indicates that India is expanding its seafood trade with several countries in Asia and Europe. Growth was also observed in China (9.8 percent), Malaysia (64.2 percent), and Japan (10.9 percent).India's textile exports to new and emerging markets such as Peru and Nigeria increased. From January to September 2025, India's textile exports grew a modest but positive 1.23 percent to $28.05 billion. This growth was driven by strong demand in countries other than the United States. Exports to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) grew by 8.6 percent to $136.5 million, making it an important regional hub for the Indian textile industry. Demand for Indian textiles is also increasing in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Growth was recorded in the Netherlands at 11.8 percent, Poland at 24.1 percent, Spain at 9.1 percent, and Egypt at 24.5 percent.Where did demand for gems and jewelry increase?India's gems and jewelry exports grew by 1.24 percent in the first half of this year, totaling $22.73 billion. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) remained the largest market for gems and jewelry, with exports increasing by 37.7 percent to $1.93 billion.South Korea saw growth of 134 percent, Saudi Arabia at 68 percent, and Canada at 41 percent. This reflects the growing demand for Indian jewellery and cut-polished diamonds in emerging luxury and investment-focused markets.read more :- INR Opens Stronger by 01 Paise at 88.76

Continuous heavy rains have ruined cotton crops: Farmers in trouble, soybeans destroyed, cotton also blackenedContinuous heavy rains over the past few days have ruined farmers' hard work. The moisture in the cotton grains has caused the cotton to turn black, and in many places, the grains are visible. The crop plants have bent, and the humid weather has increased the incidence of diseases.The heavy rains over the past two months have ruined the remaining crop, leaving farmers truly desperate. The rains have flooded the soybean crop. Some of the soybean crop was ready for harvest, so many removed it from the fields and collected it to dry in the rain. The wet pods burst and sprouted, ruining the entire crop. Meanwhile, the cotton grains have fallen off the cotton plants. Furthermore, the flowers have also fallen off due to the continuous heavy rains. The moisture has degraded the quality of the cotton, which will have a significant impact on market prices.In many areas of the taluka, the rain has caused the crops to rot in the ground. For farmers who took loans to sow their crops, purchase fertilizers, and pay labor, this loss is a significant blow. Many farmers no longer have the resources and capital to plan for the Rabi season. They were supposed to prepare the land for the Rabi crop, purchase seeds, and irrigate, but the supply of funds has dried up. After the Kharif season's losses, farmers are financially devastated, and their next season will be severely affected. Affected farmers are in dire need of assistance. The return rains have washed away not only their crops but also their hopes, hard work, and preparations for the next season.Currently, field work has come to a standstill due to the rains. The weight of the cotton has increased due to the wetness, resulting in higher harvest costs. Since cotton has to be resold at a lower price, there is a risk of a double economic blow. Although the rains are expected to resume soon, cotton production will not be possible until the soil dries out. The rains have delayed sowing of the Rabi season crop, and field work has come to a standstill. Farmers are currently waiting for the rains to begin.read more :- Cotton crop failure, wheat sowing delayed
Madhya Pradesh: Farmers say the cotton crop has lost its color; wheat sowing may be delayed by a fortnight.Indore: Unseasonal rains over the past few days have dashed farmers' hopes for a better harvest and raised concerns about the quality of the standing cotton crop in western Madhya Pradesh. This rain is expected to delay wheat sowing by about a fortnight.Cotton harvesting is currently underway in the Malwa-Nimar region, and farmers say the sudden downpour has affected the color and quality of the newly harvested crop. Kailash Agarwal, a cotton farmer and ginning mill owner from Khargone, said, "The first harvest of cotton is underway, and the rain has caused the crop to lose its color. With no room for drying this season, the cotton stored in warehouses after harvesting is also at risk of spoilage."Officials and farmers said there has been no major crop damage so far, but the rain has disrupted field preparation and sowing schedules for Rabi crops like wheat, maize, and chickpea. Due to the moisture, sowing is likely to be delayed by about 10 to 15 days in many areas.Dilip Mukati, president of the Indore Metropolitan Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, said, "Overall, there has been no major damage, but wheat sowing has been delayed as farmers are waiting for the rain to stop before starting field work."In the Indore division, wheat is sown on approximately 200,000 hectares each year. The ideal time for wheat sowing in Madhya Pradesh begins in late October and continues until mid-November. However, agricultural experts say that if the moisture conditions persist, farmers may have to wait longer, which could impact the yield potential of early-sown varieties.read more :-Cotton sold below MSP in Haryana
Haryana: Cotton not being sold at MSP, farmers are suffering lossesThe cotton crop is inundating the markets of Fatehabad district these days. Farmers are bringing their paddy crops to the grain markets, but they are suffering losses due to not receiving a fair price for their hard work. The government has claimed to purchase a total of 24 crops at MSP, including cotton.The minimum support price for cotton has been set at ₹7,710 per quintal, but due to the lack of a fair price in the markets, farmers are incurring a loss of ₹1,500. The reason behind this is said to be the CCI (Cotton Corporation of India) not purchasing. Due to the government's cotton procurement not starting in the district's grain markets, farmers are forced to sell their crop to private traders at throwaway prices.Private traders are purchasing cotton from farmers at prices ranging from ₹6,000 to ₹7,100 per quintal, while the government has set the MSP for medium-stem cotton at ₹7,710 per quintal. Cotton arrivals are high in the grain markets of Bhattu and Bhuna in the district. The price difference between government and private procurement is directly affecting farmers' economic situation. Farmers are facing losses of up to ₹1,700 per quintal.The Bhattu and Bhuna areas of the district are leading cotton producers, but after the weather, farmers are now turning away from cotton cultivation due to lack of fair prices. Farmers have demanded the government immediately resume cotton procurement at the MSP and put an end to the arbitrary actions of private traders. Mandeep Nathwan, state president of the Pagdi Sambhal Jatta Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, stated that the lack of MSP procurement is a direct exploitation of farmers. On Friday, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini also failed to address the farmers' problems. In such a situation, farmers are becoming increasingly vulnerable. All crops should be purchased at MSP so that farmers can benefit.read more :-CCI cuts cotton prices by up to ₹700, sells 89.55% stock in e-auction

bought cotton: Permission for 'Pannan', but no funds; cotton procurement dilemma?Kapus Kharedi: Farme rs have suffered a major setback this year during the cotton season. The Maharashtra State Cotton Marketing Federation (Pannan) has received permission from the central government to procure, but due to a lack of funds, procurement centers are unable to operate. Financial assistance has also been stalled due to the account being declared 'NPA'. As a result, farmers' reliance on the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) this season has once again rested, while the lack of a concrete decision from the government has increased their concerns.Farmers' hopes for the cotton season in the state appear to be dashed. The Maharashtra State Cotton Marketing Federation (Pannan) has received permission from the central textiles ministry to procure cotton, but due to a lack of funds, procurement centers are unable to operate.Since Pannan's account is currently declared a non-performing asset (NPA), obtaining financial assistance from banks has become difficult. Therefore, farmers will once again have full confidence in the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) this season.Proposal Stalled Due to Lack of FundsA proposal to set up a procurement center was presented at the Federation's board of directors meeting held in Mumbai on September 30. However, this proposal is currently stalled due to a lack of funds.Federation Director Rajabhau Deshmukh stated that the Federation is expecting to receive some of the outstanding funds from the central government and, if the funds are received, efforts will be made to set up a procurement center.Although the President and Vice President of Pannan have met with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and requested financial assistance, the state government has not yet taken any concrete decision.Impact of Foreign Cotton on the MarketThe abolition of the 11 percent import duty on cotton by the central government has paved the way for cheap cotton from abroad to come to India. This has provided the country's textile industries with an alternative to cheaper imported cotton, leading them to import bales directly from abroad. This situation has reduced demand for Indian cotton, threatening to cause prices to fall in the local market.Increased Burden on FarmersNew cotton has begun arriving at farmers' homes. However, due to the market not opening purchasing centers, the blame falls squarely on the CCI (Cotton Corporation of India). Market prices are currently unstable, and farmers are facing hardship due to arbitrary pricing by traders.The state government needs to take immediate, concrete decisions to provide stability to cotton-producing farmers. Otherwise, if cotton has to be sold at lower prices, farmers' economic calculations are likely to be completely disrupted.read more :- Wardha: Farmers waiting for procurement centers, 15,000 registered with CCI
Maharashtra: Farmers await procurement centers; 15,000 in Wardha register with CCI, crops destroyedWardha: Delays in government procurement have become a new challenge for farmers already struggling with natural disasters. Nearly 15,000 farmers in the district have registered with the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to sell their cotton.This year, farmers in the district have suffered heavy losses due to natural disasters. NAFED purchases soybeans at the minimum support price, but this year, NAFED has yet to find an auspicious time to begin registration.

However, the government procurement centers have not yet been operational, creating problems for cotton-producing farmers.Standing soybean crop set on fireFarmers in the district primarily cultivate cotton, soybean, and pigeon pea during the Kharif season. This year, continuous excessive rainfall has caused significant damage to both cotton and soybean crops.
