Telangana cotton output to rise, but low prices concern farmers
Telangana is getting ready for the cotton-picking season that begins in October. Farmers expect higher yields this year but are worried about quality after heavy rains. Prices in markets like Warangal are below the MSP of ₹8,110/quintal. The state is enhancing procurement with Cotton Corporation of India (CCI), digital registration, and helplines to support farmers.
