Cotton farmers across Telangana are protesting against the Cotton Corporation of India’s revised procurement norms, which have capped purchases and introduced digital hurdles through the Kapas Kisan app. Despite a decent Kharif yield, farmers face rejections due to moisture levels and lack of storage at ginning mills.
Farmers, who raised the commercial cotton crop expecting they would be to make profits by selling the cotton produce at remunerative price this year, are facing one or other problems to sell cotton produce in the district.
