Source of
cotton |
The company consumes 30%
local cotton and 70% imported cotton. Of the imported cotton, 35%
comes from West Africa.
India and the Russian Federation are also cotton sources for this company. The
cotton from West Africa does not pose problems even with its high
contamination level, as the fibres are dyed prior to spinning. Their total
purchase order is 3,000 tons per year, which is used for spinning cotton yarn
using open-end spinning. Yarn counts are 20s–40s. Of the product, 80% is domestically used or
sold; the remainder is exported.

Supplier |
With a lead-time of one
month, local cotton producers order directly from familiar producers to contact
foreign producers. |
Cotton
requirement |
The company requires 1.125"
lengths, fibre delicate 3.5–4.9 micronaire, fibre strength 26–28 grams per
tex. |
Attitude
towards cotton from West Africa |
• It is long staple cotton,
and strong. • It is high-quality cotton. • It is cultivated through out
the year. • It is around 5% cheaper than cotton from the
United States. |
Recommendation for penetrating the Thai market |
The most important matter
is a reduction in cotton contamination. |
