Long staple cotton is primarily grown in regions with warm, humid climates such as Egypt, the United States (particularly in states like California, Arizona, and Texas), Peru, and parts of India. These regions provide the ideal conditions for long staple cotton varieties to thrive and produce high-quality fibers.
The most common crops grown in the southern region of the United States include soybeans, cotton, corn, wheat, peanuts, and rice. These crops thrive in the warm and humid climate of the southern states. Additional crops like sugarcane, tobacco, and citrus fruits are also grown in specific areas within the region.
Countries that typically grow cotton include the United States, India, China, Pakistan, and Brazil. These countries have favorable climates for cotton cultivation and are major producers of cotton globally.
Yes, cotton can grow in the Midwest region of the United States. States like Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas have ideal climate and soil conditions for cotton cultivation.
Cotton typically requires warm temperatures and a long growing season, so it may not grow well in the northeastern United States where the climate is cooler and the growing season is shorter. However, some varieties of cotton can be grown in the region with careful attention to soil quality, water availability, and frost protection.
Cotton requires a warm temperature range of around 60-95°F (15-35°C) to grow successfully. Warm climates provide the ideal conditions for the cotton plant to thrive, ensuring optimum growth, development, and yield of cotton fibers. Cold temperatures can inhibit its growth and affect the quality of the cotton fibers produced.
The cotton gin made it profitable to grow short staple cotton across the South. Previously, it had only been profitable to grow long staple cotton on the seal islands.

Short-staple cotton differed from the long-staple variety in two ways: 1. It's bolls contained seeds that were much more difficult to extract by hand 2. It could be grown almost anywhere south of Virginia and Kentucky--the main requirement was a guarantee of two hundred frost-free days. Long-staple cotton requires a more semitropical area such as on the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia.

Pima cotton is, by definition, always an Extra Long Staple cotton. This means that each strand of fiber is longer, which makes for strong, soft, absorbent woven cloths and textiles. Ordinary cotton is a Long Staple cotton; that is, the fibers grow shorter than Pima cotton (ELS) fibers.
