Here is where the seeds, dusts particles or short fibers form the raw material are removed. In order to avoid the contamination of human hair, the workers are provided with caps and aprons. After ginning, the cotton is compressed to the standard density on fully automated bale pressing machines. All our bales are fully covered with cotton fabric and other approved packing materials in order to obtain a bale of cotton. We have ginning units in the states of Maharastra and Madhya PradeshOrganic agriculture uses methods that are ecological, economical, and socially sustainable and denies the use of agrochemicals and artificial fertilizers. In stead, organic agriculture uses crop rotation, the cropping of different crops than cotton. The use of insecticides is prohibited; organic agriculture uses natural enemies to suppress harmful insects.The production of organic cotton is more expensive than the production of conventional cotton.
