IBS Agro Trading Limited supplies export-quality cotton sourced from Tanzania for importers, wholesalers, distributors and processors worldwide.
Cotton is grown mainly in the western growing area around the lake zone. Seed cotton is aggregated during the buying season and ginned lint is offered against agreed staple length, micronaire, strength and colour grade rather than a fixed house grade. Cotton seed and cotton seed cake from ginning and crushing are listed under animal feed materials.
