Dispute Arises Over Cotton Procurement Rules Amid Farmer Concerns


Farmers across Telangana have raised objections to the new cotton procurement guidelines, claiming that the revised rules are unfavorable and create delays in payments. The Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and state agencies are facing criticism for the lack of clarity regarding quality grading and price determination, which has reportedly left many farmers uncertain about fair compensation for their produce.

Agricultural unions have urged the government to intervene and ensure transparency in the procurement process. They emphasize that immediate corrective measures are essential to prevent losses for cotton growers during the ongoing harvest season. The state administration has assured that discussions are underway to address the farmers’ grievances and streamline operations.
