Kings Apparel launched its Organic Cotton project in January 2000. Today Kings Organic Cotton project yields 80,000 kg of organic cotton lint and supplies Garments made of Organic Cotton to customers in Europe and the United States in accordance with their special requirements.

Location
Winder a small village 72 km from Karachi in the fertile Las Bela district in the province of Balochistan was chosen to grow organic cotton. The village is accessible from Karachi by a major highway. The land was mostly virgin but fertile. Today cotton of the highest quality is grown on 3000 acres of land cultivated on the principles of organic agriculture.

Growing Organic Cotton
The project is supervised by Mr.Tadeu Caldas, Chief Consultant of ECOTROPIC, an Organic Agriculture Consultancy based in Germany. The project has been certified by Ecocert International.
The company partners 40 local farmers in the production of organic cotton. These farmers are evaluated for their suitability and induction into the program. Historical records of the cultivation of  their land are assessed and status of the land is determined. The farmers are trained continuously and our agricultural scientists work with them throughout the year. Onsite laboratories in Winder rear the organisms required for healthy crops and monitor the quality of cotton.

Community and Social contribution

The production of Organic cotton limits the long term damage to the earth and environmental contamination is reduced remarkably. This directly nurtures natural habitat and improves human health in the region.
Kings Group has adopted the community of Winder and is directly involved in its welfare. Green Source Kings Primary School has been set up by the company in the centre of Winder to educate the children of this rural far flung village. A model farm trains young farmers in the science of organic cotton production and the techniques of modern agriculture.
