BSE is planning to soon launch cotton futures contract, which will benefit the entire cotton sector in the country. CAI president Atul Ganatra said the futures contractwill not only help cotton growers get best price for their produce but also benefit exporters as well as the spinning mills by providing them a platform to hedge, which is now lacking in Indian cotton future market.

Our endeavour will be to push BSE in developing an efficient, user-friendly and economical cotton trading platform, which is within the reach of a common cotton trader," he said.
