Surendranagar Kapas Cotton Saurashtra Gujarat

Surendranagar district in Saurashtra is a major cotton-growing belt, producing Bt cotton and indigenous Desi kapas varieties. The Saurashtra cotton ginning and pressing industry processes millions of bales each year for spinning mills across Gujarat and Maharashtra. Traditional Desi kapas provides shorter, fine staple fibre used in handloom fabrics. Women from tribal communities harvest cotton bolls manually and sell through APMC markets and cooperative societies.
