19. PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PROCESSING OF RAW COTTON FROM DIFFERENT
ORIGIN
Bangladesh is almost entirely dependent on imported raw cotton as the basic
raw material for its spinning mills .
Cottons of following growth are used in Bangladeshi Spinning mills:
 Central Asia ( Uzbekistan , Turkmenistan , Tajikistan , Kazakhstan )
 South Asia ( India , Pakistan )
 China
 Middle East ( Syria , Turkey , Yemen )
 West Africa ( Ivory Coast , Cameroon , Chad , Senegal )
 Southern Africa ( Malawi , Zambia , Zimbabwe )
 Northern Africa ( Sudan , Egypt )
An average quality results of cotton from different origin are shown in table 1
& 2 .

20. Processing Advantages & Problems of cotton of different origin:
CIS:
Advantages:
 Consistent in quality
 Good Micronaire Value
 Low Short Fibre Content
 Low Trash Content
 Good Maturity Ratio
 High Length Uniformity & Very High Spinning Consistency Index
 Good fibre strength
 Better Processing Performance
Problems:
 Recently facing problem with White Specks in Knit Fabric
 Color Contaminants

21. USA:
Advantages:
 Very low contamination
 Low trash content
 Less Blow Room & Carding Waste
Problems:
 High Mic
 High Neps
 Comparatively low strength
 Lower spoiining speed & higher twist level
 High short fibre content & more noil extraction
 Low maturity in some growth
