About Cotton (Pima)
Pima cotton is a premium long-staple variety prized for superior softness, durability, and color retention in textile manufacturing. Primary industrial applications include high-end apparel, bedding, towels, and medical textiles. Internationally traded forms include raw fiber, carded sliver, and yarn in various counts. Peru, India, and the United States dominate production and exports, with Peru and the U.S. commanding premium market segments. Buyers should verify staple length—typically 34-36mm for Pima versus 25-30mm for upland cotton—as this directly impacts spinning efficiency and final fabric quality; micronaire and strength grades also critically influence processing costs and end-product performance.
