What is BCI?


BCI is the abbreviation of Better Cotton Initiative. Registered in 2009 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, BCI is a non-profit international member organization with representative offices in China, India, Pakistan and London. At present, there are more than 560 member organizations in the world, including cotton growing units, cotton textile companies and retail brands.


What is a good cotton project?


The Better Cotton Project focuses on improving the production methods of cotton farmers, including the rational use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the protection of practitioners' rights and interests, the protection and safety precautions of practitioners, and the protection of biodiversity in the production environment. The quality of physical cotton, such as the micronaire value, fiber length, and length uniformity, are the same as those of normal cotton and will not be of better quality than ordinary cotton.



What is the difference between good cotton and organic cotton?


The standard of planting and producing good cotton is completely different from that of organic cotton. The principle of good cotton production is to cultivate peasants to formulate correct practices on how to reasonably use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, reduce damage to crops and soil, effectively use water resources, increase laborers' awareness of labor protection, and safeguard legitimate workers' rights.


Organic cotton needs to be certified to land. The transition from conventional production to organic production requires a conversion period, which is generally 3 years. Transgenic seeds are not allowed. No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. are allowed.

  

BCI collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders to promote good cotton cultivation projects globally and promote the circulation of good cotton throughout the supply chain based on the cotton production principles laid down by BCI. The ultimate goal of BCI is to transform cotton production methods globally through the development of a good cotton project, making good cotton a mainstream commodity. By 2020, the output of good cotton will reach 30% of the global cotton production.


How to authenticate?


Good cotton is certified by BCI and issued certificates, and any other organizational unit may not be certified. Good cotton does not require a certificate at any point in the supply chain, so there is no question of obtaining a certificate by payment.
