Requirements for ginning and/or placing on the market of ginned cotton as an Integrated Crop Management product

Draft Technical Specification AGRO 2-4: ‘Management of the Rural Environment - Integrated Crop Management for Agricultural Production. Part 4: Requirements for ginning and/or placing on the market of ginned cotton as an Integrated Crop Management product’.

Draft Technical Specification AGRO 2-4: ‘Management of the Rural Environment - Integrated Crop Management for Agricultural Production. Part 4: Requirements for ginning and/or placing on the market of ginned cotton as an Integrated Crop Management product’.

This standard describes the requirements that companies receiving cotton produced in accordance with Integrated Crop Management rules must comply with in order to gin the cotton and place ginned cotton on the market as an Integrated Crop Management product. These requirements are based on:

• ensuring the traceability of cotton from delivery of the unginned cotton (which has been produced in accordance with the standards AGRO 2-1 and 2-2), through the ginning procedure, up to the production and placing on the market of ginned cotton (fibre) as a final Integrated Crop Management product;

• avoiding a drop in the quality of cotton as an Integrated Crop Management product throughout the entire production process and all company operations.
