Cotton prices that remained stable till February-March is seen gradually rising from Rs 41,500-42,000 per candy to Rs 44,000 per candy, wherein a candy is about 356 kg. The recent rise in cotton prices has put yarn makers under margin pressure as they are unable to raise prices at once, due to low demand.
According to cotton yarn makers, rising cotton prices has led to shrinking margins by around 5-7 percent in the last one month. Moreover, rise in cotton prices coupled with restricted demand has further resulted to increased pressure on margins.
