  • Processing of cotton ginning plants that process organic cotton or transitional cotton must be verified by the Organic Cotton Verification Standards (Organic Cotton Verification Standards), which must maintain isolation and control of pollution at each stage.
  • Storage keepers: Storehouses that store organic cotton or transition cotton are also required to qualify for the distribution of organic products in accordance with the organic cotton verification standard.
