Cotton is the largest single cash crop produced in the state of Arizona.  Enough Arizona cotton is produced annually to make a pair of jeans for every man, woman and child in the entire United States.  The state’s average yield per acre is the highest in the nation, producing more than twice the national average.

Arizona is also second in the production of American Pima Cotton.  Arizona ranks sixth overall in production of Upland cotton.  At least 20% of the total U.S. cotton production comes from Arizona.
