Adilabad: Minister for Forest and Environment Allola Indrakaran Reddy on Monday said the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) would purchase cotton produce from October 17.

Speaking at a review meeting on cotton procurement, the Minister said the government proposed the regulated farming system to make agriculture profitable and help farmers to financially grow. He said that the CCI would buy the cotton produce from the farmers this year by paying a minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 5,825 per quintal. He added that 10 procurement centres were readied for purchasing it and relevant arrangements were made.

The Minister further said that the procurement would formally be commenced from October 19, once the software was available. He stated that the cotton which contains moisture percent between 8 and 12 would be paid the msp. He said that the crop was being grown in 9.17 lakh acres in the erstwhile Adilabad district and 1.16 crore quintals of yield was expected this year.

Indrakaran Reddy assured that steps would be taken for filling post of a special grade lying vacant in the Marketing department by bringing the matter to the notice of concerned minister. He said that all that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao wanted was to bring smiles to the faces of the agrarian community.  He added efforts were on to extend Raithu Bandhu scheme to those who till lands in tribal habitations.

Zilla Parishad Chairperson requested the authorities to create a procurement centre in Narnoor mandal headquarters for enabling tribals to sell their cotton produce.

MLAs Jogu Ramanna and A Rekha Naik, Collector Sikta Patnaik, Joint Collector G Sandhya Rani, District Central Cooperative Bank chairman Kamble Namdev, Telangana State Dairy Development Cooperative Federation Limited Chairman (TSDDCFL)  Loka Bhuma Reddy, Adilabad Marketing Committee Chairman Mettu Prahlad, Agriculture Director Mallesham and many other officials were present.
