Cotton commission agents and owners of the private
ginning and pressing factories are busy in creating hype about quality of
cotton yield for this Kharif in the Adilabad district of Telangana.
They were preparing a ground for indulging in irregularities like in the
past in purchasing cotton at cheaper rate from Maharashtra and sell the same to
CCI and get good margin.
It is alleged
that cotton commission agents amassed huge wealth though fraudulent means in
Adilabad. There were many incidents where it was shown in the commercial cotton
purchases that a farmer who cultivated cotton in his five acre land sold 250
quintals of cotton in the last Kharif.
Hardly farmers get 15-20 quintals of cotton yield in
one acre that too in black soil with the irrigation facility otherwise farmers
get an average 10 quintals in one acre land in the district.
Some of the cotton commission agents and owners of factories were mounting pressures on the cotton farmers to sell their cotton produce much earlier without waiting for higher price for their yield in the international market.
