Planning your Cotton crop
Cotton (कपास) is grown mainly in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh. It is a Kharif crop, usually sown in Apr-Jun and harvested in Oct-Jan. The guaranteed MSP this year is ₹8,267 per quintal, and today's mandi price is around ₹8,950. Use the planner above to see what your field could earn, then decide where to sell.
Tip: mandi prices are usually lowest right at harvest, when everyone sells at once. If you can store safely, selling a few months into the lean season often fetches a better rate. Track the live Cotton price, check the MSP details, and watch the weather before sowing and harvesting.
