Organic farming

Kala Cotton

Kala cotton of Kutch is the original purest form of organic cotton of India cultivated on a large scale. It is purely rain fed crop saving water as farmers do not use any pesticides and synthetic fertilizers making the crop high tolerance for both diseases and pests. It is both resilient and resurgent in the face of stressful land conditions. It forms a strong, coarse, stretchable fibre that is often used in denim. Being a rain-fed crop, It has been difficult to produce it in larger scale and due to the short staple length its presence in the mainstream market has diminished.
