Cotton Exports — Quality, Traceability & Farmer-First Sourcing
From farm to foreign mill, we deliver contamination-controlled Indian cotton with verified fibre parameters, sustainable practices, and precise logistics.
What We Export
We supply Indian raw cotton (Shankar-6, MCU-5, Bunny Brahma, among others) and cotton waste grades to spinning mills and traders worldwide. Each shipment is backed by instrument testing and pre-dispatch inspection.
- Staple length, micronaire, strength & uniformity reported bale-wise or lot-wise.
- Metal/PP/PET contamination mitigation at ginning with double/triple pressing, suction cleaning, and manual picking.
- Moisture maintained within safe shipping limits with calibrated meters.
- International packing: fully covered bales, HDPE wrap, metal strapping; proper bale tagging & QR traceability.

Note: Values can be customised as per buyer requirement and crop/lot.
Reducing Problems at Supplier & Farmer Stage
We address common root causes early to protect yarn quality and spinning efficiency.
1) Contamination (PP, jute, leaf, metal)
- Distribute cotton-picking cloth bags; no PP in fields.
- Pre-cleaners, metal detectors & suction at gins.
- Manual table sorting before baling; bale wrapping audit.
2) Inconsistent Micronaire & Moisture
- Field maturity checks; avoid premature/overripe picking.
- Moisture metering at receive & pre-dispatch; no wetting.
- Lot blending protocols for uniformity.
3) Bale Identification & Traceability
- QR-coded bale tags with lot, gin, test data.
- Random third-party inspection before stuffing.
- Digital records shared with buyers.
4) Logistics & Handling
- Container fumigation & humidity control liners if needed.
- Stacking patterns to avoid strap damage.
- Photographic stuffing reports.
5) Farmer Training
- Clean-picking awareness, separate seed cotton by field/flush.
- Avoid mixing varieties; dedicated tarpaulins for drying.
- Fair, timely payments to encourage quality discipline.
6) Documentation & Compliance
- Phyto, fumigation, pre-shipment inspection certificates.
- COO, packing list, invoice & bale list with test data.
- Buyer-specific labelling and port compliance.
