Even MSCMF Sources do not appear very confident of procuring more than two- thirds of the total crop. One can certainly argue that neither the government nor MSCMF need bother much on this score. The monopoly cotton procurement scheme is intended only for the benefit of the growers. Why worry if the growers feel that their interests are better served by marketing their cotton outside the State?
