flag India allocated $200 million to CCI to uphold cotton farmer incomes via MSP during 2023–24.

flag The Indian government approved ₹1,718.56 crore in funding for the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to support minimum support price (MSP) operations during the 2023–24 cotton season. flag The funds ensure CCI can purchase cotton at guaranteed prices when market rates fall below MSP, protecting around 60 lakh farmers from distress sales and stabilizing incomes. flag Cotton cultivation spanned 114.47 lakh hectares, producing 325.22 lakh bales—nearly 25% of global output—and supports up to 500 lakh people in related industries. flag The CCI operates over 508 procurement centers across 11 major cotton-growing states, using digital tools like the "Cott-Ally" app and the Bale Identification and Traceability System (BITS) to improve transparency and access.
