en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the launch of the "America's Cotton Plan," aimed at boosting domestic demand for U.S. cotton and promoting the development of the entire cotton industry.

The USDA stated that American cotton farmers are facing multiple economic pressures, including growing demand for synthetic fibers, fluctuating cotton prices, a shrinking domestic textile manufacturing sector, and fierce international competition from Brazil.

The plan consists of four pillars: promoting domestic consumption, increasing domestic demand and production, improving cotton trade, and protecting cotton farmers from risks. Robbie Minnich of the National Cotton Council said that the Farm Bill and economic survival tools are extremely important during difficult times, but ultimately, what growers need is demand for cotton.

Minnich stated that these pillars focus on different aspects, and the USDA is working with Congress to support the bipartisan Buy American Cotton Act, promote the "Plant Not Plastic" initiative launched by the National Cotton Council, and implement various agricultural provisions within the Working Families Tax Relief Act. He also pointed out that expanding domestic demand can help address these challenges, and the industry can leverage the power of American consumers to drive demand and guide them to purchase U.S. cotton products.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the initiative Thursday in Arizona.
