On October 07, 2025, the United Nations celebrate World Cotton Day to honor the vital role of cotton in global trade and livelihoods. Celebrated annually, the day was proclaimed in 2021 to promote sustainable trade policies and support for cotton producers.
Cotton provides income for approximately 100 million families, particularly in some of the world’s poorest regions. World Cotton Day raises awareness of challenges in the cotton industry, such as fair trade, environmental sustainability, and the empowerment of small-scale farmers in developing countries.
