Staplcotn

Staple Cotton Cooperative Association was formed in 1921 in response to a major problem facing Mississippi Delta cotton producers: the chaotic system by which their crops were marketed. Known today as Staplcotn, the organization is the oldest as well as one of the largest cotton marketing cooperatives in the United States. Our mission is to enhance our members' incomes by providing cost-effective marketing, warehousing, financing and other authorized services in a manner that fosters their trust and confidence in the cooperative and meets exemplary standards of business and personal conduct.
