There is however no doubt that due to consumers increasing demands & pressures, the large retailers & buyers are very strongly pushing organic textiles. It may appear that there may be commercial strings attached to it in addition to eco and environmental concerns or even social accountability. It is the right time to create the awareness and educate all in the textile supply chain about Organic Textiles.
The Textile Association, Mumbai Unit felicitated Dr. W. B. Achwal with Life-Time Achievement Award and Dr. Bart van Kuijk, Managing Director, DyStar India Pvt. Ltd. for their contribution in the field of textile processing.
Dr. C. D. Mayee, Chairman, Agriculturist and Scientist Recruitment Board, while delivering his key note address informed that 5% of the area under agriculture consumes 50% of the pesticides. It takes atleast 10 years to turn the agriculture area to grow organic products. There are thousands of hectares of barren land in cotton growing states where growing organic cotton was feasible.
Entire Vidharbha region can go organic and no farmer will be induced to commit suicide provided proper planning is done. Cuba went organic by default, but India has to make proper long term planning to provide sustainability for the farmers going organic, he stressed.
