USFIA Joins Letter to Congress Requesting Support for Buy American Cotton Act

USFIA joined a group of 76 organizations in a letter organized by the National Cotton Council for Members of the House of Representatives yesterday asking them to cosponsor the Buying American Cotton Act (H.R.7230), which was introduced by Greg Murphy (R-NC) and Terri Sewell (D-AL) on January 22, 2026. The legislation “establishes market-based incentives for these end-stage retailers to sell apparel and other goods produced, in whole or in part, from U.S. cotton.” The letter notes that it would increase demand for U.S. cotton and improve cotton supply chain efficiencies through these incentives. The coalition includes trade associations and a dozen major brands, including several USFIA members.
