ICE Cotton – Market Overview & Industry Significance

41 color / C grade cotton refers to cotton that is in the "Strict Low Middling" (SLM) range of the USDA's leaf and color grading system for cotton. It is usually employed in products that don't need high-grade fiber but still need good spinnability and uniform quality, including denim, casual apparel, and general home textiles.

Turkey ranks among the largest producers and consumers of cotton in the Mediterranean, with extensive cotton-producing areas in the Aegean, Southeastern Anatolia, and Çukurova regions. The nation boasts fertile land, a friendly climate, and a long tradition of cotton growing and textile production. Locally grown cotton is an important resource for Turkey's extensive textile and apparel industry. In part due to its extensive cotton production, Turkey is one of the biggest textiles exporting countries in Europe.

The ICE Cotton benchmark offers a secure global reference price, which assists Turkish manufacturers and mills to synchronize local prices with international market trends.
