Staple Cotton Cooperative Association
 PROFILE
Wear underwear? Chances are Staplcotn had a hand in it. Staple Cotton Cooperative Association, best known for its Staplcotn cotton marketing arm, serves nearly 12,000 member-owners in 48 states. Founded in 1921 by Mississippi cotton producer Oscar Bledsoe and 10 Delta growers, it sells about three million bales of cotton annually. Most of the yield is sold to the US textile industry to make men's knit underwear, T-shirts, sheets, towels, and denim. Customers include Fruit of the Loom and Levi Strauss & Co. The co-op's Stapldiscount subsidiary offers low-interest loans for equipment, buildings, and land. Staplcotn is represented worldwide by Amcot, which also represents three other US cotton co-ops.
