🌿 Premium Raw Cotton from Benin – Exported by Thirumal Impex

Thirumal Impex, headquartered in Cotonou, Benin, is a leading exporter of high-quality raw cotton to textile industries across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. With years of expertise in agricultural exports, we are proud to connect the world with Benin’s finest cotton, known globally for its purity, softness, and strength.


🌾 About Benin Cotton

Benin is among Africa’s top cotton-producing nations, thanks to its ideal climatic conditions, fertile soil, and centuries of farming expertise. The cotton from Benin is grown in naturally rich regions under warm tropical conditions, resulting in fibers that are long, bright, and highly spinnable.

Cotton cultivation in Benin is supported by well-structured cooperatives and government programs that emphasize quality improvement, farmer training, and sustainability. The result is a consistent supply of clean, contaminant-free, and moisture-controlled cotton bales that meet international spinning standards.

🧶 Applications of Raw Cotton

Our raw cotton is widely used in:

  • Yarn production for knitting and weaving

  • High-end fabric manufacturing (cotton sheeting, shirting, and denim)

  • Blended textiles with polyester or viscose

  • Home textiles (bed linens, towels, upholstery)

  • Medical and hygiene products (cotton wool, surgical dressing)

Benin cotton is known for producing yarns with excellent evenness, fewer breakages, and high tensile strength, leading to smoother fabrics and higher production efficiency.
