The China Cotton Association (CCA) has unveiled the industry standard for sustainable production amid the country's push for sustainable development. The standard focuses on the management and use of agricultural chemicals in cotton planting, ecological and environmental protection, cotton quality, and other core issues related to the sustainable development of agriculture. The standard aims to help cotton producers adopt sustainable production and operation methods, meet the demands for high-quality cotton products, and increase cotton farmers' income, said the association. The standard became operational on April 1 and will play a vital part in the China Cotton Sustainable Development Program, said the association.
