Greek Cotton: High Quality and Sustainable European Production
Greek cotton stands out for its high quality, fast delivery, and sustainable production practices. With 79.4% of total European cotton production, Greece ensures contamination-free, non-GMO cotton for around 250,000 tons per year. The cultivation is supported by subsidies, making it an essential cash crop and a significant part of the national economy. The cotton is predominantly cultivated in four main areas, offering stable characteristics and a focus on quality over quantity. Collaboration with Spain under the "Made in Europe" label promotes environmentally friendly, non-GMO cotton with advanced agricultural practices, providing a value proposition for European garment importers.
