Cotton grows on cotton plants. The shrub is native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

Although cotton is an enormously important commodity throughout the world, most people in developing countries receive a low price for their cotton.

The top ten Cotton producers in the world are: China, India, United States, Pakistan, Brazil, Uzbekistan, Australia, Turkey, Turkmenistan,and Syria.

Cotton is a crop that is planted from a seed and grows into a bush. As it matures cotton grows on it. It is then harvested and processed into useable cotton.

Cotton comes from any country that grows and harvests cotton plants for fabrics. I would say the U.S., China, Europe and India manufacture the most cotton fabric.
