A cotton cooperative based in the Mediterranean province of Antalya, has recently made an announcement that it would be raising the procurement price for superior quality cotton.
In keeping with the announcement, the price of 'white ST-1 quality' would be raised from current 1.80 Turkish liras per kilogram to 2.10 liras.
Alterations that have affected the cotton markets in recent years have caused the cotton, popularly known as white gold to get even more valuable than real gold, the cotton cooperative stated. Moreover, significant fluctuations in the cotton prices in the domestic as well as global markets have also affected its decision, it added. The cooperative raised its procurement price from 1.6 Turkish liras to 1.8.
