California growers of Pima cotton will feel tariff impact

There is uncombed cotton, combed cotton and Pima cotton.

All of it is grown by US farmers and as of Friday, it has been subject to the 25 percent tariff that China has placed on $34 billion worth of US goods in retaliation for the same tariff percentage on the same amount of goods imposed by the Trump administration earlier on Friday.

Cotton is produced in 17 states. Texas produces the most, followed by Georgia and Mississippi. In 2017, the United States produced 21.3 million bales of cotton, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
