Every bale begins
with a farmer.
We buy cotton from farmers and bring it into our ginning mill in Odisha. Our part is to connect the work in the field with the material business buyers need.
Life around
the fields.
A walk through the rain. A journey to the water’s edge. Our June 2023 film places the cotton story within the everyday lives and landscape of Odisha.
People, water
and the seasons.
Journeys for water are part of the wider work shown in our film. Rain and the changing seasons form the setting for life around the fields.
Most of Odisha’s annual rainfall arrives during the monsoon.
Odisha Crop Contingency Plan 2024 (PDF)Our part in
the cotton journey.
Our role is practical: buying cotton from farmers, processing it at our mill and connecting the harvest with business buyers.
- Buying from farmers
- We purchase cotton from farmers for processing at our mill. That relationship is the starting point for the cotton we handle.
- Agreeing the price first
- The purchase price is agreed before we buy, based on market rates and cotton quality.
- Connecting with buyers
- We process the cotton into fibre bales and cottonseed, connecting the harvest with the requirements of business buyers.
Our approach to fair pricing
An agreed price.
A clear basis.
Market rates and cotton quality inform the buying conversation.
- Price basis
- Market rates + cotton quality
- Agreement
- Before purchase
The people and practices
behind the harvest.
Our company film offers a closer view of field conversations, compost preparation, sowing by hand and a demonstration of farm-prepared inputs.
