Cotton prices in Gujarat have hit the roof, with cottonseed prices ranging between ₹8,500 and ₹10,500 per quintal.
As the largest producer of the natural fibre, Gujarat accounts for almost one-fourth of the total cotton production in the country.
In the current season, cotton acreage in the State stood at 22.53 lakh hectare in the kharif season 2021-22 as against 22.78 lakh hectares in the previous season, with an average of 25.53 lakh hectares recorded over the previous three years.
