A Report on Internship Trainning in Spinning Mills

Cotton, first domesticated in 2300-1760 B.C.E had been domesticated and heavily cultivated and manufactured into textiles for export (dying techniques had become prominent as

The earliest factories in England came up by the 1730s and, with the technology enabled production processes like carding, twisting, spinning and rolling became faster and easier consequentially, between 1760 and 1787 raw cotton imports to British cotton industry rose from 2.5 million pounds to 22 million pounds. On the contrary, the traditional market of cotton cloth from India witnessed a steady decline from 30 per cent around 1800 to 15 per cent by 1815 and to 3 percent in 1870s. While exports of cloth declined rapidly, export of raw materials increased equally fast. Between 1812 and 1871, the share of raw cotton exports rose from 5 per cent to 35 per cent. This was not something triggered by the industrial revolution but the protectionist measures of the British t which imposed tariffs on cloth imports. The creation of cotton mill by Richard Arkwright brought processes under one roof and management, allowing better supervision, quality control, and the regulation of labour. Thus not only the trade the way business of production was handled also underwent a quantum change.

but it became profitable in Europe as well (“Statement of Stock of Cotton in Great Britain,”

After the invention of the cotton gin was invented, American cotton moved in ever-greater quantities to the factories of Europe. The cotton industry was among the world’s largest industries at midcentury, drawing on the labor of 20 million workers.

Documents 1, 2, and 7, are charts that shows the production of cotton yarn and cloth throughout the years along with women labor. From 1884-1914 in India, hand spun yarn decreased from 150 to 90 millions of pounds. Machine spun yarn increased from 151 to 652 millions of pounds (document 1). Unlike the hand spun yarn in India the hand spun cloth increased as well as the machine spun cloth, but the hand spun

• The enormous surplus of labor in China imperils workers worldwide as international competition puts incessant downward pressure on wages and working conditions, leading the apparel and textile industries to favor the cheapest and most Draconian producers.

As a result America started to produce three quarters of the world’s supply of cotton, allowing for big businesses to mass produce cloth. Cotton soon became “king” exceeding the value of all other products in America combined.

When it comes to 1840, the value of cotton became much higher. According to the data, America export raw

During this time period, Japan and India had an increase in the machine-produced textile materials. A data chart gathered by British colonial authorities (Doc. 1) shows the production of cotton yarn and cloth in India. As the year increase, the hand spun yarn production rate has decreased and dropped 60 millions of pounds. While it shows the number of machine spun

Japan and India were both far behind the West in terms of technological advancement. Japan tried to modernize itself under the Meiji Restoration and India under the control the British East India Company became dependent on Britain. During the period of 1880s to the 1930s, Japan and India both had a significant increase in the use of machines in the cotton industry and as a result, there was a rapid increase in production. The mechanization of the cotton industry in Japan and India mirrored each other in the sense that workers from both countries received low wages and poor working conditions, however, the two countries differed in the fact that in Japan the workforce was composed of mostly women, and in contrast, the workers in India were mostly males. Both Japan and India saw an increase machine-spun cotton yarn.

Nowadays we take cotton for granted. We use it in our everyday life, and some people may not even realize it. In the 1800’s Cotton was the next big thing in America. Now that Britain, America’s main export country, had a new indigo supplier, we needed to find another way to make money. Little did we know that it was right in front of us.

The last fifty years of cotton's story have involved fewer humans, astounding feats of agricultural research and engineering, and an amazing ability of farmers to band together and own the whole value chain of their crop production. Rivoli marvels that farmers have figured out how to market cotton seeds (they make great frying oil) and stems (feed for cattle), as well as forming collectives to pack, sort, grade, sell and market the cotton and other products. The combination of mechanization, American ingenuity, command of the value chain and agricultural
