Cotlook Ltd

Cotlook Ltd provides information analysis and other resources for the world's cotton industries by means of web-based services and printed publications, including our weekly trade journal, Cotton Outlook. Subscribers are informed regarding major crop and market developments around the world, together with comprehensive price information, including the Cotlook A Index. Cotlook Ltd is an independent Merseyside-based company that has been engaged in publishing cotton news for around 85 years. The company is run and staffed by people who have no trading interest in raw cotton, and it has won a worldwide reputation for accuracy and impartiality. For over 40 years Cotlook has compiled and published the Cotlook A Index of raw cotton values. The A Index is widely regarded as the reliable barometer of world cotton values, and is referred to by the major international cotton organisations, such as the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), and for many years has been used as a key price in US farm legislation. The Index is used in many different ways by various countries and trading organisations.
