Fatehabad has Haryana's typical cotton-cultivation belt feeding mainland textile mills. Smallholder farmers sell raw cotton to local traders at standard rates. A small ginning unit (separating fibre from seed) aggregating from 80-150 farmers and selling graded fibre to spinning mills plus seed to oil mills captures both crops' value-add.
Capex of 18-35 lakh covers ginning equipment, basic warehouse, and 6 months of working capital. NABARD-AIF (Agriculture Infrastructure Fund) at 3% concessional plus the Cotton Corporation of India's MSP-aligned procurement schemes fund the build. Hard parts: cotton supply contracts (existing buyers will defend their position), maintaining grade quality through ginning, and securing 2-3 anchor mill contracts. Realistic: profitable from year 3 with steady supplier and buyer base.
