These numbers confirm, the organisation said, the value of the programme to cotton farmers, “particularly in today’s challenging environment with fluctuating input costs, changing weather, and evolving market conditions”.
Trust Protocol data collection services helps farmers optimise practices and improve efficiency as well as monitor impacts, which brands can then use for their sourcing and reporting requirements. The organisation said it had over 2,500 mill and manufacturer members, and more than 45 brand partners, including Ralph Lauren, Gap, Levi’s, Carhartt, J.Crew and Urban Outfitters.
Daren Abney, Executive Director of the Trust Protocol commented: “The continued increase in grower participation in the Trust Protocol means greater sourcing opportunities for brands and retailers around the world”. It also “highlights the value growers find in our program as they look for opportunities to enhance resilience in the face of current economic and environmental pressures”.
