Committed to Your Future
Staplcotn supports and lends expertise to programs that allow our members to demonstrate to the supply chain the responsibility exhibited in their cotton production. As a grower-owned marketing cooperative, we are uniquely positioned to connect brands and retailers with our growers. We leverage our farmer roots with our staff’s marketing expertise and Staplcotn’s global sales network to bring value all along the supply chain. We work with multiple sustainability and regenerative agricultural programs plus tailored programs to fit specific needs. Staplcotn’s ultimate goal is to improve its members’ marketing opportunities by ensuring integrity, service, transparency, and traceability within the textile supply chain. The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol has launched a Field Partner Program to collaborate with merchandisers to deliver traceable “Trust Protocol Regenerative Cotton.” The program leverages existing Trust Protocol infrastructure to support private initiatives offered by Trust Protocol members while providing greater sourcing choices for Trust Protocol brand members. The pilot program is designed to enhance value and benefits for Trust Protocol members while providing Field Partner Programs the framework, verification, and traceability that are foundational pillars of the Trust Protocol.
Staplcotn’s New Regenerative Practices Pool
A new offering for the 2025 crop is the Staplcotn Regenerative Practices Pool (Staplcotn RPP), which is currently in the pilot implementation stage. RPP is a collection of Staplcotn growers who use certain crop production management practices that are commonly considered regenerative to soil health. To be included in this voluntary pool of inventory, growers must exhibit a combination of practices including cover crops, minimal/no-tillage, nutrient management, and crop rotation while also achieving certain biodiversity and soil carbon outcomes. This program is delivered to the marketplace as a Field Partner Program of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. For more information on participation in the Staplcotn RPP or the Field Partner Program, contact your Cotton Specialist.
