The Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) will procure fair average quality (FAQ) grade cotton from farmers till March 31 for the 2022-2023 cotton season. The CCI stated in a press launch that the minimal assist worth (MSP) scheme gives an alternate advertising channel for cotton farmers to promote FAQ-grade cotton at MSP charges.
CCI opened greater than 400 cotton procurement centres in 11 cotton-growing states for the cotton season that started on October 1, 2022.
At current, cotton costs are above MSP degree and there’s no want for cotton farmers to do misery sale. The CCI will procure FAQ grade cotton at MSP till the end of this month, the cotton company added.
