Our Values
We value quality and efficiency for our customers. It’s why we believe in constant innovation. Through this we have leveraged technology to help advance more efficient seed varieties, 100% mechanize all cotton picking, and improve ginning processes for virtually contamination-free cotton. Because we believe that in order to get a quality output, you need quality input.
COTTON USA strives to produce the most sustainable cotton of any country in the world. Through the generations of family farmers and their stewardship of the land, strict regulations and innovative precision agriculture technology, the U.S. leads the world in growing cotton that helps support a better future for generations to come.
Transparency is important to us, because we know holding ourselves and our industry accountable benefits everyone. It is critical to having successful, trusting relationships with everyone in our business, from within our CCI family, to the larger industry and our customers. COTTON USA takes pride in leading the industry in this regard through our strict classing process, contract sanctity standards and customer service offerings.
