President of Indian Cotton Federation J. Thulasidharan said on Tuesday that action can be taken to increase productivity, control price volatility, ensure attractive prices to farmers, and streamline exports and imports only when all the stakeholders are consulted and a comprehensive study of the sector is done.
Vice-president of the association P. Nataraj added that the Central Government should come out with an export policy for cotton. Based on the estimates of the Cotton Advisory Board, the Government should take decisions on exports. In the current season, Pakistan had been a major importer of Indian cotton. Over 60 lakh bales were exported so far to different countries this year.
