Cotton Incorporated
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cotton Incorporated aims "To increase the demand for and profitability of cotton through research and promotion." The organization is funded by cotton growers in the United States through per-bale assessments on producers and importers levied by the Cotton Board, which reports to the United States Department of Agriculture.
The Cotton Research and Promotion Act of 1966 enabled the establishment of Cotton Incorporated in 1970.
The company has helped cotton increase market share in fabrics since it was enacted, both through the branding of cotton with the "Seal of Cotton" and improved technology.
