Kyrgyz organic cotton is a type of cotton that is grown using environmentally friendly methods in the fertile soils of Fergana Valley in the Osh and Jalal-Abad regions.

Conventional cotton farming often relies on the use of synthetic chemicals and pesticides, which can have negative impacts on the environment and on the health of the people who work with it.

These chemicals can pollute the soil and water, and they can also harm beneficial insects and other wildlife. In contrast, organic cotton farming methods rely on natural fertilizers and pest control methods, which are less likely to have negative impacts on the environment. In addition to being better for the environment, organic cotton farming can also support biodiversity in other ways. Many organic cotton farms are small and family-owned, and they often use diverse crop rotations and intercropping techniques. This can help to support a greater variety of plants and animals on the farm, which can contribute to the overall health and diversity of the ecosystem.

By choosing Kyrgyz organic cotton, consumers can support sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices that have a positive impact on biodiversity. In addition to being environmentally friendly, Kyrgyz organic cotton is also often considered to be more ethical than conventional cotton, as many cotton farm owners in Kyrgyzstan prioritize fair and safe treatment for their communities. Overall, Kyrgyz organic cotton is a great choice for those looking for a sustainable piece that will last.

Origins of our organic cotton are near the Naryn river, where we work with 28 smallholder farmers. We visit them every year during the harvest season.
