Cotton procurement begins in Jamthi, Maharashtra; price of ₹8,101 per quintal recorded on day one
Private traders have commenced cotton procurement in Bodwad, Jamthi, and surrounding areas. Crop conditions have deteriorated due to heavy rainfall over the past few days, and the cotton crop is not yet fully ready in many farmers' fields. Farmers are struggling to save their crops amidst these challenging circumstances, yet they remain hopeful that cotton prices will be favorable this year.
Meanwhile, procurement by private traders began in Jamthi. On the first day, Santosh Dhangar, a farmer from Yevti, arrived to sell 50 kg of cotton.
Upon the arrival of the season's first cotton in Jamthi, private trader Jitendra Gurubhaiya and Devidas Patil (a driver for the Agriculture Center) honored farmer Santosh Dhangar by presenting him with a shawl and a coconut.
The price of cotton on the first day stood at ₹8,101 per quintal.
