Textile Associations and the Government of Madhya Pradesh Form a Strategic Partnership
In a significant move aimed at bolstering the textile industry, the Tiruppur Exporters’ Association (TEA), Southern India Mills’ Association (SIMA), and Indian Cotton Federation (ICF) formalized an agreement with the Madhya Pradesh government on Thursday. This strategic partnership is focused on promoting the cultivation of Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton in the state, recognized for its superior quality.
J. Thulasidharan, Chairman of the ICF, highlighted that Madhya Pradesh is already known for producing the finest ELS cotton in India, a variety highly sought after by textile mills in Tamil Nadu. The initiative will not only aim to expand the cultivation area but also enhance the yield of ELS cotton. Additionally, a new Cotton Development Board will be established as part of the effort to support and sustain the growth of this premium cotton variety.
This collaboration is expected to address the increasing demand for ELS cotton, essential for high-quality textile manufacturing, and position Madhya Pradesh as a key player in the national cotton market. By leveraging this partnership, the stakeholders aim to strengthen the supply chain and ensure consistent availability of top-grade cotton to meet both domestic and international market needs.
