Prime Cotton has achieved a historic milestone in Azerbaijan's cotton sector, becoming the first company to officially obtain an Organic Certificate under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program (USDA NOP).
The USDA NOP certification officially confirms that the cotton produced by Prime Cotton is:
fully organic,
produced through transparent and traceable processes,
compliant with globally recognized organic standards.
This certification creates significant opportunities for Prime Cotton products to be presented reliably and competitively in international markets, further strengthening the company's position as a trusted supplier for global partners.
“Obtaining the USDA NOP Organic Certificate is not just a certificate for Prime Cotton; it is a strategic step that defines our company's future development direction. Being the first company in Azerbaijan's cotton sector to obtain this certificate is a great source of pride for us. This achievement is a clear indicator of our commitment to sustainable agriculture, transparent production, and international standards. Our goal is to represent Azerbaijani cotton with high confidence in global markets,” said Rovshan Mahmudov, CEO of Prime Cotton.
The USDA NOP certification is an integral part of Prime Cotton's sustainability and responsible production strategy. The company also holds international certifications and memberships such as Sedex, OEKO-TEX, Geodentify, Higg, and ICA.
These certifications and memberships once again confirm that Prime Cotton operates in accordance with international standards and is committed to the principles of responsible production.

"Prime Cotton," part of "GP Cotton Holdings," is engaged in the production of cotton, as well as cotton seeds, yarn, cotton oil, and cotton meal.
