Marketing Cotton--From Farmer to Consumer

Glade, Edward H.,

No 321189, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Technology has changed significantly in recent years at all stages of the marketing system for cotton and cotton textile products. Associated with these developments have been changes in market structure and organization, and in efficiency of providing marketing services. In addition, the ever-changing character of consumer demand for textile products greatly influences the cotton and cotton-products industries. The cotton industry is faced with rising costs, competition from foreign cottons for export outlets, the problem of maintaining and improving quality, the need to find and promote new uses and markets for cotton, and competition from manmade fibers, plastics, paper, and other raw materials.
