The origin of cotton is India and Arabia. Cotton is one of the most important crops in the world. The output is large and the production cost is low, which makes the price of cotton products relatively low. Cotton fiber can be made into a variety of fabrics, from light and transparent voile to thick canvas and thick velveteen, suitable for all kinds of clothing, furniture and industrial fabrics. The cotton fabric is strong and wear resistant, capable of washing and ironing at high temperatures, and the cotton cloth is comfortable to wear due to rapid moisture absorption and desorption.
The countries with the highest cotton production are China, the United States, India, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Argentina and Sudan. It is not only the most important fiber crop, but also an important oil crop. It is also a high-protein food crop, textile, fine chemical raw materials and important strategic materials.
