Indian cotton prices have increased further, driven by demand from knitting plants and traders. The weakening of the exchange rate of the rupee against the united states dollar has led to an increase in import costs, and domestic prices have followed the trend of rising global prices。
On friday, the indian cotton company (cci), which currently holds the largest cotton in india, increased the cotton price by rs. 300 per package (356 kg). Taking this adjustment into account, cci's cotton prices have increased cumulatively by rs. 1900/pack since the beginning of this month。
Lalitgupta, chairman and managing director of cci, stated that the price increase was in line with global price trends. There is a strong demand for cotton and yarn. Of the total procurement volume of 10. 5 million packs (170 kg each), 3. 9 million bags were sold in march alone, indicating a good demand。
Since early march, ice cotton has risen by about 6 per cent, with contract prices hovering over 69 cents per pound in may and over 71 cents per pound in july。
The former president of the indian cotton association (cai), atulganatra, stated that the price of quality cotton was likely to rise in the coming days, given the continued devaluation of the rupees and the rise in ice cotton prices. The association is the highest trading body in the cotton industry in india。
According to ramaju das boob, a procurement agent in rachel, market demand is rising because of the high import costs associated with the strengthening of the dollar and the global price increase. The demand for cotton is also strong not only in textile factories but also in multinational trading companies, which find the current indian cotton prices attractive as the rupee against the united states dollar weakens further。
In recent weeks, global supply chains have been disrupted as a result of the ongoing middle east conflict, and there has been an increase in demand for cotton in india from countries such as bangladesh and viet nam。
It's safe and fast
