Speaking with the district collectors, Rao ordered them to turn Cotton and ginning mills as cotton purchase centres like last year. He also released confidence saying that the cotton farmers will show interest to sell the cotton to CCI at MSP.
He also promised to sort all the issues by discussing with the ginning officials in Mumbai. He also ordered the marketing officials to make compulsory arrangements like providing the required machinery, computers and software at the purchase centre.
