In order to achieve quality traceability conditions, the company also re-planned and arranged the operating procedures in the factory.

It is not only beneficial to the sales of cotton, but also facilitates our management of the harvesting and planting quality of our employees.” The person in charge of Beiting Cotton Industry Company Luo Zongyi said that as an enterprise, quality is life, and improving the quality and efficiency of cotton will also help enterprises establish their brands and occupy the market.
