TNAU Forecasts Groundnut and Cotton Prices for 2024-25 Harvest in Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) forecasts harvest prices for groundnut and cotton in Tamil Nadu for 2024-25. Groundnut prices are expected to be around ₹65-70 per kg, with production mainly in six districts and usage focused on oil extraction and livestock feed. Cotton prices are anticipated at ₹75-80 per kg, with cultivation spread across six districts growing Bt hybrids and other varieties. Both forecasts consider historical market data and monsoon impacts, with further price changes possible based on monsoon performance and arrivals from other states.
