In  making  the  recommendations  CACP  takes  into  account  factors  such  as    cost  of production, industrial cost structure, changes in input prices, demand-supply situation, inter-crop price  parity,  effect  on  general  price  level,  etc.    Government  has  fixed  the  MSP  of  cotton  for 2015-16  season  at  Rs.  3800  per  quintal  (medium  staple)  and  at  Rs.  4100  per  quintal  (long staple) taking into account all the factors mentioned above.  The MSP fixed for 2015-16 season provides adequate margin over the all-India level average paid out costs including family labour (A2+FL) of Rs. 2753 per quintal, as estimated by CACP.

In  order  to  ensure  remunerative  price  to  cotton  growers  and  to  avoid  distress  sale  by farmers,  Cotton  Corporation  of  India  Ltd.
