This report analyzes the environmental and social impacts of the global cotton textile product chain, focusing on China's role as a major producer, importer, and exporter. It evaluates the trade-offs between economic growth and environmental degradation, proposing a transition toward sustainable cotton production and the internalization of environmental costs to maintain long-term competitiveness.

  • China's cotton production is characterized by high environmental pressure due to intensive use of water and chemicals. Cotton is the crop with the highest pesticide use in China, accounting for 30-40% of all crop pesticide use, with an average application of 1 kg per mu.
  • The report argues that importing cotton can be more environmentally beneficial for the world than domestic production in China. Specifically, cotton produced in the US and West Africa generally has a lower environmental impact per unit of weight compared to Chinese production due to different irrigation and chemical use patterns.
  • Internalizing environmental costs—integrating the cost of environmental damage into product prices—is proposed as the best way to coordinate trade and environmental development. While this may reduce short-term profits by approximately 2%, it is expected to drive industrial upgrading and long-term sustainability.
