Extra Long Staple Cotton
The Special Competitive Provisions for Extra Long Staple (ELS) Cotton, also known as Pima cotton, began in the fall of 1999 to help domestic mills and exporters to be competitive in the world market.
To be eligible for payment, Domestic Users and Exporters are required to sign an agreement and comply with all rules and regulations of the ELS cotton program. The payment rate is announced by a rate report every Thursday in Washington, D. C., for the following Friday through Thursday, which is also known as the rate week.
