Product type
Raw cotton is a natural fiber derived from the cotton plant, primarily used in the textile industry. It is harvested from the cotton bolls, which are the protective capsules around the seeds of the plant. Once harvested, raw cotton undergoes processes like ginning to separate the fibers from the seeds before being spun into yarn or fabric. It is valued for its softness, breathability, and versatility, making it a popular choice for a wide range of textile products.

When purchasing raw cotton, buyers should consider the fiber length and purity, as these factors can influence the quality of the final textile products. It is also important to specify the desired moisture content and any certifications required for organic or sustainable sourcing. Providing information on the intended application and required quantities can help suppliers offer the most suitable options.
