    Cotton is cheaper. It grows on trees plants, which implicate better availability and easier procurement.

      Despite it’s German name Baumwolle, cotton doesn’t grow on trees, like e.g. Kapok does, but on annually cultivated plants which makes it faster to grow, scalable and easier to harvest.
