Cotton production

Cotton production involves growing and harvesting cotton plants, which produce fluffy fibers used in textiles. Farmers plant cotton seeds in fields, allowing the plants to grow through a warm season. Once mature, the cotton boll — the protective capsule surrounding the seeds — dries and opens, revealing the cotton fibers. These fibers are then harvested, cleaned, and processed to remove seeds and debris. The cleaned cotton is spun into threads, woven into fabrics, and manufactured into clothing and other textile products. Overall, cotton production combines agriculture and processing techniques to transform raw plant fibers into everyday textiles.
