Why is Uzbekistan buying American cotton?

Importing cotton from the USA for the processing industry in Uzbekistan has begun, uz.kursiv.media reported. This move is being made to improve the quality of raw materials in local textile production.

According to officials, American cotton stands out with its fiber length and quality indicators. It allows local manufacturers to produce high-value products, including competitive fabrics for export.
