December 16, 2020 Dear Arvin, Thank you for your request dated Feb 06, 2019 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for The number of cotton wastes generated in the Philippines. Production data and demand for cotton For data on cotton production, please see attached file. COTTON DEVELOPMENT PROJECT 2019 The PhilFIDA is presently reviving the Cotton Industry in the Philippines under the project Revitalizing Cotton from Fiber to Fabric (F2F Project). This revitalization project supports RA 9242 – the Tropical Fabrics Law. Through the years, local source for cotton dwindled tremendously. Yet, there has been increasing local demand for cotton raw materials for weaving, knitting, novel designs, and for blending with other fibers. Many companies have expressed their need for cotton fibers for production of various products, which include:  HABI: The Philippine Textile Council - looking for local cotton fiber source for their weavers in the country  Nooks, Philippines - looking for local cotton fiber source for their weavers in the country  Loom Weavers Associations - no local source of yarn; all yarn requirements are imported; total yarn requirement : 10,670 kg/month  Roxas Foundation - trying to pioneer the innovation of sugarcane thread, where one of the many processes for thread production requires cotton;  Primatex Corporation – requires commercial quantities of seedcotton/lint The F2F project aims to cater the requirements of these groups and support many local weavers. As of to date, we have no existing data regarding cotton wastes. Thank you. Respectfully, Marian Joy Gray FOI Receiving Officer
