USDA Upland Cotton (West Texas) – Market Overview & Industry Significance

Upland Cotton from West Texas, especially the 34mm staple length type, is among the most extensively grown and commercially valued cotton types within the United States. Texas is reputed to be the biggest producer of cotton in the United States and the High Plains of West Texas contribute immensely to that. In fact, more than half of the state’s cotton crop comes from these High Plains. These plains are characterized by hot days, cold nights, and loam & sandy soil types, providing the ideal conditions for cotton growth.

The 34mm staple length West Texas Upland Cotton is prized for its strength, diverse colors (including green and brown), and overall fine quality, making it a routine input in US textile production. It is particularly well-suited to products like denim, casualwear, and towels, where durability is a key consideration. Nevertheless, significant pest infestations, from pests like thrips, aphids and fleahoppers, are a problem for cotton cultivators in this region.

Under the strict grading standards of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), cotton from this area is parsed to measure up to international standards for cleanliness and fiber uniformity. Precision agriculture, soil moisture monitoring, and automated harvesting are some of the technological developments that make West Texas cotton efficient and competitive on the international market.

TexPro offers detailed market information, price directions, and procurement analysis for 34mm West Texas Upland Cotton. It is thus a vital source of information for textile manufacturers looking to source cotton from West Texas.
