World Cotton Day
October 7 — Cotton for Good
Every October 7, the global cotton and textile community comes together to celebrate cotton’s contribution to livelihoods, trade, innovation, and sustainable development.
World Cotton Day is also a call to action: an opportunity for organizations, schools, businesses, and individuals everywhere to share cotton’s story, celebrate the people behind this amazing natural fiber, and show how cotton continues to be a global public good.
