Abstract
Cotton is an important agricultural commodity, both globally as well as
domestically. In many developing and underdeveloped countries, cotton exports
are not only a source of vital foreign exchange earnings, but also account for
a substantial proportion of their GDP and tax income, leading to significant
economic and social development. An
efficiently organized cotton market system not only facilitates the proper and
smooth disposal of what the farmer produces, but also acts as a catalyst for
increased production. The factors which
may affect the development of a more complex marketing system include the
increase commercialization of production, adoption of more scientific
techniques, increased labor and firm specialization, the geographical
separation of production and consumption, population increase and urbanization,
changing food habits and purchasing power, changing consumer mobility,
Government related conditions, etc. This study examined that in the study area
of Adilabad and Karimnagar district is the lack of remunerative price of the
crop. Since cotton is a cash crop and
higher capital intensive but the price received by the farmers in returns of
their efforts is not satisfactory. The
next important problem faced by the farmers is that at the time of marketing of
cotton is the fluctuations in the price of the cotton. Delay in procurement of product was also more
visible. Middlemen exploitation is also
pond in the study. Distress in sale was also visible. As per chi-square test
result, there is a significant relationship between the minimum supporting
price for cotton and the positive impact on the cotton growers.
