The Cotton Company of Zimbabwe, Cottco, manages the cotton supply chain by providing a critical link between growers and spinners.

Cottco works with farmers to improve the quality of their crop by providing agronomic and extension services and inputs.

At the processing stage, Cottco carefully and skillfully handles farmers' cotton to produce quality planting seed, lint and cottonseed. Its specialised grading, classing and warehousing facilities ensure that its main product, lint, consistently fetches a premium on world markets.

The Cottco group has also moved into spinning, through Scottco (Pvt) Ltd, which produces quality 100 percent cotton yarns predominantly for export.
