Top 10 Largest Cotton Textile Industry in World – [Cotton Types]

Last Updated on February 26, 2020 By Madeleine Pickworth 3 Comments

The Word Cotton comes from the Arabic word “al-qutn” is a member of the Malvaceae family of flowering plants that includes hibiscus, Pavonia and mallow plants. It is a white fibrous agricultural product; its an example of a primary economic activity that has a wide variety of uses, from textile production to creating paper, to producing oil and food products. It is grown all around the globe and is traded internationally as well the international trade in cotton is led by the United States and the African nations and totals more than $12 billion annually.

There are many types of industries in the world but the Cottage industry is very famous at the local and international level. The cottage industry is an industry, mainly manufacturing, which involves many producers working part times from their homes. The term was initially used to refer to workers who were engaged in tasks like lace making, sewing or household manufacturing.

The cultivation appears to have begun in present-day Pakistan approximately 6,000 years ago. The Harappa civilization of the Indus River Valley exported cotton fabrics to the early Semitic peoples of the Middle East as well as the Egyptians starting around 3000 B.C.E.; from there, made its way into Nubia, Meroe and the interior of Africa.

Similar cultivation apparently took place in the Americas independently, albeit later: the ancient Peruvian Moche and Nazca civilizations, which flourished as Rome was declining in Europe, made extensive use of cotton fabric.
