In the context of clothing, the seed cotton market refers to the initial stage of the cotton industry whereby raw cotton is harvested from cotton plants. Seed cotton is the form in which cotton fibers are still attached to the seeds before they undergo ginning, a process that separates the fibers from the seeds. These fibers are then cleaned, spun into yarn, and ultimately woven or knitted into various textile products, including garments. The quality of seed cotton, including its length, strength, and color, affects the quality of the finished textile product, making the market for seed cotton crucial in the supply chain of the clothing industry. Sustainable and ethical sourcing practices in the seed cotton market have gained attention, with a focus on improving farming methods, ensuring fair labor practices, and reducing the environmental impact of cotton cultivation and processing.
Some companies involved in the seed cotton market include Cargill Cotton, one of the largest cotton marketers with a wide network of grower relationships; Olam International, which operates through an integrated supply chain; and Louis Dreyfus Company, a merchant and processor of agricultural goods that deals in cotton among other commodities. Other notable companies include Calcot, Ltd., a cotton marketing cooperative, and Staplcotn, one of the oldest and largest cotton marketing cooperatives in the United States, which provides services to its members from seed cotton marketing to logistics.
