Introduction to the ProjectIntroduction to the Project
Organic cotton
Originates from organic agricultureCertified ‘organic’ by certification bodiesAims for an optimum and sustainable use of local
natural resourcesNo application of external inputs like pesticides,
chemical fertilizers, herbicides and chemically treated or genetically modified (GM) seed
External ‘organic’ inputs may be usedMore labour intensiveYields are lower
Standards
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)To be labelled “organic” requires fiber to be at least 95%
organic. (The remaining 5% can be conventional fiber, but not of the same fiber as the organic portion)
OE 100 and OE BlendedOE 100 only allows a minimum of 95% organic fiber
(exclusive of threads or non-textile accessories). The remaining 5% cannot be cotton.
OE Blended requires at least 5% organic cotton content for the blended standard allowing the remaining fiber to be any fiber, including conventional cotton.
Global Organic Cotton Market
Retailers• C&A (Belgium)• Nike, Inc. (Oregon, USA)• Walmart (Arkansas, USA)• Williams-Sonoma, Inc.
(California, USA and recorded last year as Pottery Barn)
Manufacturers Organic cotton yarns, fabrics, and finished goods
producing regions includes:• China• Southeast Asia• Indonesia• India• Pakistan• Bangladesh• Turkey• Mexico• United States
Global retail sales of organic cotton products
Source: Organic Exchange 2009 Market Report
Future outlook
According to OE forecasts:
Global organic cotton market will grow 20 to 40 percent in both 2010 and 2011
Reaching about $5.1 billion market in 2010 and $6.0 billion market in 2011
