  • Cotton farmers in Maharashtra want better technology and more funding to address falling productivity.

  • Finance Minister allocated ₹500 crore for the National Cotton Technology Mission in the 2025-26 Union Budget, but farmers feel it's insufficient.

  • Cotton yields have dropped from 502 kg per hectare in 2014-15 to 461 kg in 2024-25, with production falling short of the textile sector's demand.

  • The Bollgard-2 cotton variety, used for two decades, is less effective now, and bollworms still damage the crop.

  • Some farmers use high-density planting and mechanized cotton-picking for higher yields, but these methods are expensive and not accessible to all.

  • These farmers argue the ₹500 crore allocated is too little, suggesting at least double the amount is needed.

  • Farmers criticized the budget, highlighting the need for better prices, reduced input costs, and more focus on agriculture in bank lending.

  • Most farmers can't access the Minimum Support Price (MSP) due to lack of government procurement and called for better support prices as recommended by the M.S. Swaminathan Commission.
