Cotton
Cargill’s cotton business is one of the top cotton merchants in the world.
Cargill’s UK cotton division is headquartered in Liverpool, the traditional home of cotton trading and has branch offices in Tashkent, Johannesburg, Harare and Brisbane that specialise in cotton procurement.
Although cotton is grown in over 100 countries, there are only a handful of major exporting countries and Cargill’s cotton business is prominent in many of these countries.
Cargill’s UK cotton division’s key supply areas are Central Asia, West Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, Syria, the Indian sub-continent, Brazil and China.
Although Cargill’s cotton procurement expertise is directed towards a few strategic areas, we ship cotton to all four corners of the globe. We currently service in excess of 400 cotton buyers in over 50 different countries around the world. Because of the scope of our operations, our trading and administration teams in Liverpool and Memphis are focused on employing the best business practices, delivering unsurpassed contract performance and developing the most suitable customer solutions within the international arena.
