The Cotton Association of India (CAI) has requested the Centre to allow exports of cotton without any quantitative restrictions.
In a memorandum to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the association has sought immediate steps to make exports of cotton free under OGL (open general licence) without any quantitative restrictions.
Cotton exports have not been permitted since the end of February which has resulted in almost 30 per cent crash in prices, CAI President Dhiren Sheth said.
In spite of this, it is ironical that prices in India remain around 15 to 20 per cent cheaper than that of the world and farmers have been deprived of realising the international value for their cotton while they have been witnessing an erosion in the value of their produce day by day since the last couple of months, he said.
