ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton is grown according to organic farming practices.

IN-CONVERSION COTTON
The transition period for a farmer to get the organic certification takes an average of three years as the soil needs to recover from the practices commonly used in conventional cotton farming. In this period, the farmers are not paid extra – known as the ‘organic premium’ – for their hard work and effort to transition. When being supported under the Direct-To-Farm programme, the farmers will be paid a premium while converting their farm to organic practices and requirements (to ensure the land eventually qualifies to be certified organic under international standards).
