Workers push harvested cotton with their feet as they unload it from a supply truck at a cotton processing unit in Kadi, in the western state of Gujarat, India, October 20, 2015. India will be forced to make large-scale government cotton purchases from farmers for a second straight year, following a cut in imports by top buyer China that has depressed prices, industry officials said. India spent 160 billion Indian rupees ($2.5 billion) to buy 8.7 million bales of cotton at a government-set minimum support price (MSP) in the marketing year that ended on Sept. 30, up from just 400,000 bales in the previous year.
