Dirt to Shirt: Linking the Global Fiber & Textile Supply Chain

Perhaps no issue is more integral--or more contentious--to world trade and the welfare of millions of people around the globe than the international fiber and textile supply chain. Whether from feedstock to fabric or from dirt to shirt, over time fortunes have been made and lost, wars fought and settled, and entire economies thrust from an agrarian focus into the modern, industrialized world.

From the fiber--natural or synthetic--through the supply chain to the final retail consumer, we track, interpret, and forecast the evolution and machinations that drive this complex system, so you don't have to. 30 minutes on our site can save you hours of trolling the web. And provide insight behind the data. Across the supply chain, we encounter questions like the following:

"Is it going to rain in Uzbekistan this weekend and how might this affect development of the cotton crop?"
"How will OPEC actions drive crude oil and feedstock prices?"
"When does a change in the euro impact fiber prices or textile trade patterns?"
"How much do changes in GDP affect consumer spending on apparel?"
"What will the new administration mean for textile trade policy?"

.... We address all these issues and more, every day. Globally.
