CCI - An Organisation

CCI Operations cover all the cotton growing states in the country comprising of:

• Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan in Northern Zone

• Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh & Orissa in Central Zone and
• Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka & Tamil Nadu in Southern Zone

In Maharashtra, CCI made its entry during cotton season 2002-03, after the State Government
of Maharashtra relaxed its monopoly procurement scheme thereby allowing Ginneries,
Traders & CCI to purchase raw cotton from the farmers of the State.

CCI - Its objectives

The Cotton Corporation of India (CCI)

A Friend to Cotton Farmer & A Dependable Supplier of Cotton to the Textile Industry
CCI was established on 31st July 1970 under the
administrative control of Ministry of Textiles, Government of
India as a Public Sector Undertaking under the Companies
Act 1956.

In the initial period of setting up, as the only public sector

undertaking in the field of marketing of cotton, CCI played a
role of a canalizing agency for imports of cotton and
purchase of raw cotton for giving necessary price support to enterprising cultivators and also for
procuring raw cotton for textile mills.

The role and function of CCI continued to enlarge with the changing cotton scenario in the
country. Now, the major role of the CCI is to undertake price support operations, whenever the
market prices of kapas fall below the minimum support prices (MSP) announced by Govt. of India,
without any quantitative limit. Besides MSP operations, to fulfill the raw material requirement of
the domestic textile industry particularly for lean season, CCI undertakes commercial purchase
operations.

With a view to safeguard the economic interest of cotton farmers in all the cotton growing regions
and to ensure smooth supply of good quality cotton to the textile industry in India, the Corporation
is having PAN India presence through headquarters at CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai
(Maharashtra), 19 branches and around 350 cotton procurement centres in all major cotton
growing States.
Procurement of Kapas
As a premier organisation in Public Sector and engaged in
marketing of cotton, CCI acts as a role model in the
procurement of kapas (seed cotton) through auction
conducted by the APMCs, in the notified market yards. CCI
officials attend these auctions regularly from day one of the
arrivals and remain present throughout the season till viable
arrivals last in the markets. Regular presence as well as
regular purchases by CCI in these markets, help in creating a
competitive environment to the advantage of cotton farmers in realizing price in commensurate
with quality of their kapas produce. All kapas quantities are purchased in the auction and in
competition with private buyers/traders and mills under close supervision of APMC Officials. Over
the years, with PAN India presence through 350 procurement centres in all the major cotton
growing regions, CCI has become a friend to cotton farmers and “One Stop Shop” for good quality
Indian cotton for textile mills. All these purchases are made either under Minimum Support Price
operations or under commercial operations.

Price Support Operations

Every year, before commencement of the Cotton Season (Oct. to Sept.), Govt. of India fixes the
Minimum Support Price (MSP) of seed cotton (kapas) with a view to safeguard the economic
interest of cotton farmers in case the kapas prices fall below the MSP level.
CCI as a nodal agency of Government of India, undertakes Minimum Support Price (MSP)
operations strictly as per guidelines issued by Government of India, in the event prices of Fair
Average Quality (FAQ) grade kapas fall below the MSP level.

The MSPs of different varieties are fixed for FAQ grade kapas stipulating minimum quality
parameters on staple length and mic value. Since total kapas arrivals in the market yards, do not
match the prescribed parameters of FAQ grade, Corporation allows purchases of below FAQ
grade kapas also by offering prices in commensurate with quality and within the MSP of the
variety concerned. This helps the cotton farmers in selling their kapas produce under MSP
operations and avoid distress sales. Corporation keeps itself ever ready to meet the eventualities
of support price operations in all the cotton growing States. Depending upon the intensity of these
operations, Corporation creates required infrastructure in the form of regular procurement centres
as well as satellite centres so that farmers are not compelled to travel long distances for selling
their kapas produce. Processing of kapas through satellite centers, is arranged by CCI at the
nearest processing points.
Procurement of kapas through the MSP mechanism has benefited the cotton farmers of the
country, in a big way through assured price for their kapas produce as well as timely payments
and it has helped in retaining their interest in cotton cultivation.

The steps involved in procurement of kapas from farmers in APMC are as under:

✓ Farmers bring their kapas to nearest APMC yards for selling the same.

✓ Kapas is sold by way of Open Auction/e-NAM in APMC yards.

 ✓ Proper identification of farmers is being made by APMC Officials on the basis of their land
records, aadhar cards, bank details etc. In this regard, State Govt. of Telangana has
introduced bard-coded ID’s to farmers and State Govt. of Andhra Pradesh has developed
web portal for identification of farmers.

✓ CCI Officials remains in the market from the beginning of cotton season till end and keep
close watch on prevailing market situation so as to protect the interest of cotton farmers.

✓ In the event prices of Fair Average Quality (FAQ) grade kapas fall below the MSP level, CCI
procures the entire quantity of FAQ grade kapas offered to it by Farmers in APMC at MSP.

✓ Before procurement of cotton under MSP, proper quality assessment for FAQ grade
parameters (i.e. Moisture content, Staple Length & Micronaire) are ensured and proper
deductions are made towards below FAQ parameters as per MSP guidelines.

✓ To ensure quality based remunerative prices to the cotton farmers, CCI started instrument
based quality evaluation system for assessing of quality of kapas by using portable moisture
meters and micronnaire testers.

✓ After auction bidding slip is generated and weighment of kapas is conducted in presence of
farmers, APMC officials and CCI Officials.

✓ APMC provide the duly authenticated Takpattis (with digital signature)/purchase bill and
banking details of the farmers to CCI.

✓ Payment to cotton farmers are made 100% through online directly in farmers’ bank account in
a period of 2-3 days after receipt of purchase bill along with details of farmers from APMCs.

Developmental Activities
Since beginning of 1990s CCI on its own had been undertaking developmental activities by
ploughing back a part of its profits, with the main objective of improving the quality, yield and
total income of the farmers. After setting up of Technology Mission on Cotton in February
2000, most of these developmental activities have come under the purview of TMC. Still, to
supplement the efforts of State Agricultural Departments and other schemes of Government of
India, CCI is continuing with few of its developmental activities as under:-
Integrated Cotton Cultivation (Contract Farming)
Apart from low yield per hectare, the quality of cotton produced in the country is
comparatively more contaminated. While the interest of cotton farmers suffer due to higher
cost of production and low productivity, the end user textile mills find it difficult to consume
the available cotton – an admixture of varieties with higher percentage of trash and
contamination.
In order to increase production and productivity of cotton
thereby increasing the per hectare of the cotton farmers as also
to produce quality cotton to suit the needs of the textile
industry, the momentum on integrated cotton cultivation is
gaining ground through linkages amongst all concerned. The
farmers are expected to form associations for contract farming
and textile mills and other coordinating agencies are entrusted
all the extension services including various inputs and
marketing support for such cotton produce. The scheme in its
extended form benefit both the cotton growers through low cost
of production and higher productivity and the textile mills with
availability of quality cotton comparable with international standards.
To give a boost to cotton production through Contract Farming, CCI is undertaking contract
farming programme in all the cotton growing States since 2002-03 and signing MoUs every
year with the Farmers’ Association.

Initially during 2002-03, CCI had taken up contract farming programme in selected cotton
growing State in an area of 2,996 hectares with involvement of 3,157 farmers. Over the years,
area covered under contract farming has recorded an impressive increase. CCI promoted this
scheme upto 2013-14.
During 2013-14 the Corporation has taken up the programme in all the cotton growing States
in 50,947 hectares in association with 14,950 cotton farmers with the help of State Agricultural
Universities, Krishi Vigyan Kendra etc. Details of Contract farming programme by CCI from
2006-07 to 2013-14 are as under:

Area achieved Number Number

2006-07 32810 306 12882
2007-08 40043 361 11777
2008-09 46837 294 15139
2009-10 46272 208 15191
2010-11 48649 224 19847
2011-12 47246 469 16155
2012-13 48147 188 13681
2013-14 50947 120 14060

From Cotton Season 2014-15, CCI dropped this scheme looking to the lack of interest by mills
and farmers for participating in this scheme. Though, at present CCI is not engaged in
Contract Farming of cotton, however, looking to its benefits, CCI initiated a new programme
with the name of Contract farming with Front Line Demonstration (FLD) Programme as a part
of its development activities during 2014-15 for betterment of yield/quality of cotton in
backward areas in the State of Karnataka (under B.O. Hubli), Tamil Nadu (under B.O.
Coimbatore) and West Bengal (under B.O. Kolkata).
In 2015-16 also, CCI has continued the same programme under its CSR activities as rural
development projects in backward districts of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
This new programme is only the modified form of earlier contract farming programme with
same objective i.e. to enhance the production of cotton in low productivity areas. The
difference is only that, in contract farming with FLD programme, besides providing the
guidance of modern farm practices to farmers by arranging frequent visits of Scientist/
technical expert at all stages of crop production (i.e. right from field preparation to harvesting),
CCI is also arranging the supply of essential inputs which includes seed, pesticide, fertilizer,
bio-fertilizer, bio agent etc. In present programme, CCI is not involved in co-ordinating for
purchase of cotton by textile mills due to their unwillingness.

Technology Mission on Cotton

Technology Mission on Cotton was launched in February’2000 in the course of IXth plan with
the objective to bring about tangible improvements in the productivity and quality of cotton in
the country. It envisages development of all aspects of cotton from research to production,
marketing and processing, in order to meet the domestic and export requirements of the
country. The mission will remain operative in the Xth plan as well.
Technology Mission on Cotton comprises of 4 Mini-Missions. Mini-
Mission I (Research) has ICAR as the nodal agency and Mini-
Mission II (Transfer of Technology) has the department of
Agriculture and Co-operation as the nodal agency while Mini-
Mission III (Development of Market Infrastructure) and Mini-
Mission IV (Modernisation/ Upgradation of G&P factories) are
administered by the Ministry of Textiles through CCI. Out of 250 market yards sanctioned
under MM-III 246 market yards reported completion and out of 1011 Ginning and Pressing
units under MM-IV 859 G&P factories reported modernized.

Till 1970s, country used to import massive quantities of cotton in the range of 8.00 to 9.00 lakh
bales per annum. However, after Government launched special schemes like intensive cotton
production programmes through successive five-year plans, that cotton production received
the necessary impetus through increase in area and sowing of Hybrid varieties around mid
70s. Since then country has become self-sufficient in cotton production barring few years in
the late 90s and early 20s when large quantities of cotton had to be imported due to lower
crop production and increasing cotton requirements of the domestic textile industry.
Since launch of “Technology Mission on Cotton” by Government of India in February 2000
significant achievements have been made in increasing yield and production through
development of high yielding varieties, appropriate transfer of technology, better farm
management practices, increased area under cultivation of Bt cotton hybrids etc. All these
developments have resulted into a turnaround in cotton production in the country since last
6/7 years. The yield per hectare which was stagnant at about 300 kg/ha for so many years,
jumped to 506 kgs in the year 2017-18 and had reached to the level of 566 kgs per hectare in
the year 2013-14. Though the per hectare yield is still lower against the world average of
about 789 kgs per hectare. The fundamental changes that are taking place in the realm of
cotton cultivation in the country, are having the potential to take the current productivity level
near to the world average in the near future.

Consumption
The domestic textile industry is one of the largest industry in the country and has witnessed a
phenomenal growth in the last two decades in terms of installed spindlage and yarn
production. The significant features of this growth include installation of open-end rotors and
setting up of export-oriented units. Technology-wise, Indian spinning industry has been able to
keep pace with the international technology trends to a fair degree and this pace of
modernization received a fillip after launching of "Technology Upgradation Fund" by the
Government of India in April 1999. India has became the 2nd largest consumer of cotton, after
China i.e, about 20% of World Cotton Consumption.
