Mill Sales Program
The Mill Sales Program is Staplcotn’s comprehensive cotton marketing solution. It is designed to provide the membership direct access to textile mills and cotton buyers all over the world, as well as excellent price risk management options that maintain maximum flexibility. A basic element of the Mill Sales Program is the concept of “pooling.” Growers in the Staplcotn pool attract the attention of textile mills, unlike individual growers, because the pool makes it possible for textile mills to purchase larger quantities and specific qualities directly from a producer throughout the year. Both the growers and textile mills benefit because they do not have to trade through a middleman.
