Indian cotton farmers are committing suicide at alarming rates, one every 8 hours. The farmers are forced into constant debt by landlords, chemical and seed companies. 54% of all pesticides sprayed in India is put on cotton!
We at ADYA INTERNATIONAL do not like this since it is not a sustainable system. Hence our organic cotton orders helps push the balance in a new direction.
It feels great to see International businesses /productions who support these farmers and thereby leading to a positive change affecting them directly and indirectly.
