Abstract

India's cotton industry is crucial to the economy, providing raw material for 75% of the textile industry and employing millions. Despite having the largest area under cotton cultivation globally, India faces challenges such as low productivity due to rain-fed farming. To address these challenges by enhancing productivity and pest resistance the Bt cotton producer companies were facing different constraints. Data from various stakeholders in Gujarat's Bt cotton seed market was collected and analysed using the Garrett Ranking Method to identify key factors influencing sales. The findings highlight the major constraints faced by Bt cotton producer companies includes the fixed price policy, lack of skilled manpower and seed adulteration. By improving access to quality seeds, enhancing farmer awareness and reforming seed policies, which significantly helps market dynamics in shaping the cotton seed sector.
