Why is protecting cotton important? 

Protecting cotton is important to maintain and control moisture levels, minimise wastage, prevent damage from rodents and insects, and increase overall lifespan. Moisture control prevents mould growth and preserves fibre quality during storage and transport. Effective protection safeguards against rodents and pests, preventing damage that could compromise cotton integrity. By reducing wastage and losses due to weather exposure and mishandling, protected cotton maintains its value and meets quality standards. This ensures a higher yield of usable fibres, supporting sustainable farming practices and economic viability.
