Cotton Farmers Dry Crop To Reduce Moisture To Get MSP

Agriculture extension officers have advised farmers to bring their cotton to the market only after proper drying, maintaining a moisture level between 8 per cent and 12 per cent to secure better prices. -

October 26, 2025 ADILABAD: Cotton farmers are drying their produce under sunlight to reduce high moisture levels and qualify for the Minimum Support Price (MSP). However, many are struggling to bring down the moisture percentage to the required 12 per cent due to persistent foggy weather, which naturally increases moisture in cotton.

Farmers said that even after drying their cotton for two to three days, the moisture content remains around 20 per cent, and they have appealed to the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) and district officials to relax the moisture norms.

Agriculture extension officers have advised farmers to bring their cotton to the market only after proper drying, maintaining a moisture level between 8 per cent and 12 per cent to secure better prices.

The district administration officially began cotton purchases on October 24 at the Adilabad market yard, starting with a small group of farmers. On the first day, only six farmers received the MSP of ₹8,110 per quintal for cotton with 8 per cent moisture. Five farmers received ₹8,029 for 9 per cent moisture, one got ₹7,948 for 10 per cent, and another received ₹7,786 for 12 per cent. A total of 348 quintals were purchased by the CCI.
