The algodon cotton plant is genetically different from other cotton plants and it produces about 10% less lint, water absorption, and strength than the conventional cotton plant. Algodon plants will produce a significantly high quality of cotton at a lower cost which makes them economically viable alternatives to conventional cotton.
Algodon Cotton is an alternative type of cotton that has nothing to do with hard white fibers or how soft it is on your skin; instead Algodon Cotton refers to the social and economic impact this crop has in parts of Central America, including Guatemala. Alpatron’s goal as a company has been to set up sustainable farmer communities across Central America, including Guatemala by promoting better quality crops (while still being affordable).
