Most cotton growers in the Tiruchi district have to go to Namakkal or other neighbouring districts hitherto to sell their produce through the agriculture marketing societies there or depend on traders, who charged a commission. Moreover they have to face delays in payment from traders and worries of being short-changed in weighing. To help farmers sell their produce without having to depend on intermediaries, the Tiruchi District Market Committee has introduced weekly cotton auction at the Thuraiyur Regulated Market.
