About Us

The COTTON USA Sourcing Program has been a successful partnership between Cotton Council International (CCI) and a group of U.S. cotton textile manufacturers to develop, grow, and maintain export markets for U.S. manufactured cotton products. Since 2000, the COTTON USA Sourcing Program has worked throughout the U.S. – Western Hemisphere textile and apparel supply chain to introduce participating U.S. mills to potential customers throughout Latin America as well as to develop and strengthen relationships between U.S. mills, retailers, brands, uniform companies and regional apparel manufacturers. The Program has also expanded to explore sales opportunities in other regions of the world.

Using local representatives throughout Latin America as well as CCI representatives in Asia and North Africa, CCI has successfully organized a wide variety of activities to promote the export of U.S. manufactured cotton yarns and fabrics.
