The Saurashtra region of Gujarat is famous for cotton cultivation, but due to the lockdown, the crop is not being sold at even a quarter of its price. According to the farmers, in the year 2012-13, one quintal of cotton was sold for Rs 7,000 to 7500 but now it is not being sold even at Rs. 3000 per quintal. Farmers also complain of limited procurement centres which results in heavy losses for them
