Record cotton price:
White rice is growing. The price is setting new records. It has reached 9 thousand which has never been seen before. Although the yield is low due to lack of rain, the farmer's face is beaming with happiness as the prices are coming. As a result, the farmers were happy about the sale.
Cotton prices fell sharply in the open market. The price of quintals does not exceed Rs.5 thousand. Traders reduced the price on the pretext that the cotton was wet due to the typhoon. CCI is not buying from market yards since last week. Despite the collapse of the market, there was no response from the rulers and marketing officials. Due to this, traders and farmers are being exploited. This year, farmers cultivated cotton in one lakh acres in Jaggayapet, Nandigama, Mylavaram and Tiruvuru constituencies of the district. Since the beginning of the Kharif season, the expected yields have not been forthcoming due to adverse weather conditions. per acre Rs. More than 50 thousand have been invested. Although the central government announced support price of Rs. 7,020 per quintal at Rs. Farmers are not getting it. 6 thousand to Rs. Up to 6,300 traders bought.
In the first week of this month, due to the impact of the typhoon, heavy rains fell in the district and the cotton to be harvested in the fields got wet. Traders say that due to wet cotton, the color changes, the quality decreases and the lifespan decreases. They go to the farmers in the villages and give lame excuses. Quintas Rs. They are buying for five thousand. CCI has not been buying cotton from the farm market yards for a few days now. CCI buyers have announced that they will stop purchases from 16th to 25th of this month.
If the cotton is taken to Guntur ginning mills then CCI will buy it. According to the rules, the price of cotton is being cut due to lack of quality. In the name of reduction, the weight is reduced by more than three kg per quintal. It costs more than Rs.300 per bore to take it to Guntur. Moreover farmers do not need to go to Guntur for Biometric. Due to lack of affordable price, farmers are resorting to other traders. Kota Weerababu, former chairman of Nandigama AMC, alleged that the establishment of a price stabilization fund to support the farmers and the incompetence of the rulers were also the reasons for the financial loss of the farmers, even though the cotton market was suffering a severe loss.
Farmers are expressing happiness as cotton prices are increasing day by day in Jammikunta agricultural market of Karimnagar district. Last year, the yield of cotton per acre was 8 to 10 quintals, but the cost was not enough as the price was only 4,000 to 5,000 per quintal. Farmers are in debt. However, this year's rains have caused severe damage to the cotton crop. The farmer, who was depressed due to the poor yield, is happy with the affordable price in the market.
This year, the yield of cotton has decreased by 4 to 5 quintals per acre, but the price of cotton has gone up to 9,000 per quintal, but the farmers are expressing happiness. The price of the little cotton grown has gone up as the country's cotton yield has declined and demand in the international market has increased. 10,000 per quintal in the coming days, business sources say.
On Thursday, the highest price was Rs.9,100 per quintal in Adilabad, Asifabad, Kumurambim and Khammam districts, and Rs.8,805 in Warangal. Any delay in getting the cotton to the market will sell like hotcakes.
Price increase-PDS Priority -ధరల పెరుగుదల-పిడిఎస్ ప్రాధాన్యత:
The prices of essential goods are increasing beyond the reach of common people. Onion prices have increased in the past. Now the prices of pulses are increasing in the same way. Prices of onions, which are available in the market at Rs.15 to Rs.20 per kg, have increased to over Rs.eighty and are now at Rs.25-30. At Rs.80-ninety, the price of pulses has been increasing since the last four months, crossing the prices of chicken meat and running towards meeting the prices of beef. The prices of other pulses are also increasing in this way. What causes the prices of these commodities to rise? Big traders advertise that if there is an overproduction of any commodity and sufficient quantity is available in the market, the prices will be low, but if there is not enough production and there is a shortage, the prices will rise.
The liberalists are campaigning that the government should not interfere in the price of any commodity and leave everything to the market, that the market decides everything, and that if the government controls the prices, the goods will be available to the people at a cheaper price. It is being propagated that instead of the goods that the poor people get through the public distribution system, people will benefit more if they are paid through the cash transfer scheme. It is said that if money is taken in exchange for goods, people can buy quality goods wherever they want and not use cheap price shops. This kind of propaganda is being done as part of efforts by investors, big businessmen and the government to abolish the public distribution system.
The prices of pulses and onions make it clear how the prices of commodities will increase if the public distribution system is abolished. The increase in prices is not due to lack of demand. The reason is the policies followed by big traders and illegal hoarders. Currently the prices of pulses are increasing. Generally, the prices of pulses started to increase from August in the market and reached Rs.210 by October. The production of pulses in the country is less than our requirements. We are importing 35 to forty lakh tonnes of pulses every year. Meat production in the country was 30,20,700 tonnes in 2012-13 and 27,50,000 tonnes in 2014-15. Imports decreased from 5,06,000 tonnes to 4,43,000 tonnes. The shortfall in 2014-15 was only 3,13,000 tonnes as compared to 2012-13. This is less than 10 percent of the total consumption. A 10 percent shortage has increased prices by more than a hundred and fifty percent. While a 10 percent shortage causes prices to rise by over 150 percent, the availability of pesal, millet, and other pulses is only five percent below the requirement. Why are their prices increasing at the same rate? Scarcity is not the reason why prices are so high. If the shortage is the cause, prices may rise by ten or fifteen percent. Big investors and illegal hoarders are trying to make high profits and the government policies that support them are the reason for such a large increase in prices. While not taking measures to bring down the illegal stock and reduce the prices, the government made an agreement with the traders who were increasing the prices illegally and gave them an opportunity to sell at Rs.140 per kg.
The support price fixed by the government for quintals is Rs.3,000. When the kandus were coming to the market, traders bought them from the farmers for an average of Rs.5,000 per quintal. The government has made it possible for traders to sell at more than double the profit without paying depreciation and other expenses. On the one hand, people are agitated by the increase in prices, on the other hand, the Chief Minister has announced that the price of pulses supplied by the cheap shops in the state will be increased from Rs.50 per kg to Rs.ninety.
By increasing the price of 80 percent at once, the government has imposed a heavy burden on the poor, saying that it has not taken anything away from the traders.
But since 2008-09 onion production in the country has been increasing rapidly. While the yield was 136 lakh tonnes that year, the production increased to 189 lakh 23 thousand tonnes in 2014-15. During this period, India became one of the major exporters of onions in the world. During the period of three months between April-June 2013, our country exported five lakh and twenty thousand tons of onions. The supply is available in excess of domestic market requirements.
However, the reason for the increase in prices is that the big traders control the market. In this way, they are increasing the prices of essential commodities and placing an unbearable burden on the people. The reason why food grains prices are under control is that the government collects and stores food grains and provides them to the public through the public distribution system. The government is trying to abolish this system in the name of cash transfer scheme. The central government is completing all the necessary arrangements. Irrespective of the production, the government fixes support prices of foodgrains which are unaffordable to the farmers.
Last year levy collection was limited to 25 percent of what it was collecting earlier. The Center has warned that if any state pays farmers more than the price announced by the Centre, it will not be given foodgrains for the public distribution system to that state. Only when the states purchase the food grains required for public distribution can the poor people be provided with essential commodities through cheap shops. What will happen if the government does not have sufficient stock of food grains, and the stocks of food grains end up with big traders and illegal hoarders?
