18/02/2015
US organic cotton growers are estimated to have planted the most acreage of organic cotton in 2014 since 1995, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
Respondents to OTA's survey reported a 14% increase in organic cotton acres planted in 2014 – from 15,973 in 2013 to 18,234 – despite grappling with tight seed supplies, persistent weeds and a shortage of seasonal labour.
