Co-operation The monitoring body issuing certificates is the Texas Department of Agriculture and IFOAM. The TDA is one of the few official bodies in the world that has introduced stringent formal regulations (the most stringent in the world) for organically grown cotton because of the increasing health problems associated with conventional cotton. The TDA is the standard setter for all organically grown and produced cotton in the entire USA. Inspectors from the TDA monitor harvesting and production of organic cotton. The soil, fields, machinery, blowing rooms, spinning and weaving mills are all inspected.
