About

Treecot is Thailand's leading cotton agency. Founded in 2018 and based in Bangkok, we connect the world's cotton suppliers — merchants, ginners and growers — with the country's spinning mills, and hold the largest market share in Thailand's cotton trade.*

* Measured by volume. We combine public customs data with our own trade records, analysed continuously by our AI systems, to verify this claim.

How we work

One thread, held all the way.

Our people have spent decades in the Thai cotton trade. Everything we do rests on four principles.

A trusted network

We work with reliable partners on both sides of every contract — established suppliers abroad and the top mills at home.

End-to-end support

We stay with every contract through delivery and beyond — execution, shipment tracking, and any claim that follows.

Market insight

We follow the market every day — prices, freight, origins and policy — and share what we learn with the people we work with.

Rules & risk

We are fluent in ICA rules, cotton futures and derivatives — the framework and the hedge behind every contract.

AI-native

The AI-native brokerage.

Cotton is one of the world's oldest trades — built on trust and relationships. Treecot adds something new: AI-native employees working alongside our people around the clock — monitoring markets, sharpening our analysis, and making us faster and more effective.

Built in-house. Kept local, kept confidential.

The capability of AI. The accountability of people.

Representation

Selling into Thailand?

If you sell cotton and want a real presence in the Thai market, one relationship gets you there. We represent international suppliers with the mills that buy — with execution support, market analysis, and total discretion on your business.
