 Cotton also known as "White Gold". As a result of insatiable appetite for cotton in the garment and bedding industries, cotton has become the most demanded commodity.![cotton.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcUx3M7tpGfEaKGRhgPnKJKPdSgFAKSxGP5brE6LTgnwD/cotton.jpg)

> Cotton is the world’s most commonly used natural fibre and is in nearly 40 percent of our clothing. Although cotton has a clean, wholesome image long cultivated by the garment industry, in reality, it is not. This thirsty little plant drinks up more than its fair share of water. It can take more than 20,000 litres of water just to produce 1kg of cotton; equivalent to a single T-shirt and pair of jeans!

Cotton is one of the most chemically dependent crop in the world, while only 2.4 percent of the world’s cropland is planted with cotton.

 20 million tonnes of cotton are produced each year in around 90 different countries which include; China, United States, India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Brazil  which account for over 75% of the global production.
