The world consumes more than 20 million tons of cotton each year, making “white gold” a highly sought-after fiber for apparel and everyday household use. Produced in the United States from the Carolinas to southern California and in other nations including China, India, Pakistan and Brazil, cotton is spun and woven through a sophisticated system linking growers, ginners, merchants and textile mills around the world. Since 1966, Meister Media Worldwide has stood alone in serving the U.S. and international cotton markets through its market-leading COTTON GROWER and COTTON INTERNATIONAL brands.
