SOLVENT EXTRACTION PLANT OF COTTON SEED (CAPACITY 200 TON/DAY)
[EIRI/EDPR/1351] J.C.115
INTRODUCTION
Cotton, the king of natural fibres is mainly cultivated for its lint which is the most sought after textile fibre till date due to its inherent ecofriendly and comfort characteristics. It is also one of the important cash crops of many of the Afro-Asian countries like India, Iran, Egypt, Sudan, Uzbekistan, Tanzania, etc. and plays a major role in their economic development.
However, of late, cotton cultivation in general and especially in these countries is becoming non-remunerative on account of higher cost of inputs by way of plant protection measures, low productivity in rain fed cultivation, etc. As a result, the cultivators are not able to get adequate returns commensurate with their inputs. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore alternative means of increasing the returns from cotton farming.
While efficient use of available resources, good quality seeds, organic cultivation, transgenic cotton etc. could reduce the cost of cultivation and enhance productivity, a judicious approach to promote the use of by-products from cotton cultivation through value addition route offers an attractive proposition to generate additional income to the farming community and the industries.
Cotton is one of the most important commercial crops of India and is the single largest natural source of fibre. It plays a dominant role in its agrarian and industrial economy as the backbone of textile industry, which consumes 70% of the country's total fibre produced. It alone accounts for 38% of the country's export and fetches over Rs. 42,000 crores annually to the exchequer. Thus, cotton production plays a vital role in Indian economy, providing employment for more than one million farmers and employees in the domestic textile industry. But, textiles are only the part of this great cotton story. The often-ignored fact is that the cotton plant produces more food for man and feed for animals than fibre. All elements of cotton seed as it is often considered as "Golden Goose": linters, kernels and hulls are used in various consumer products, delicious food and nutritious feed for animals (Figure 1).
