Cotton merchants

Cotton merchants are traders who buy and sell cotton, the natural fiber used in textiles. They purchase raw cotton from farmers or suppliers and sell it to mills that manufacture fabric and garments. Merchants often handle contracts, manage logistics, and ensure quality standards. They play a crucial role in connecting producers with manufacturers, helping to facilitate the global flow of cotton from farms to finished products. Their expertise includes understanding market prices, supply and demand, and commodity trading, making them key intermediaries in the textile industry.
