The British Cotton Growing Association (BCGA) was an organisation formed in 1902 from the various bodies connected with the Lancashire cotton industry which aimed to reduce that industry's dependence on supplies of raw cotton from the United States by promoting the development of cotton growing in the British Empire. It was described as a “semi-philanthropic” organisation, or combination of Non-governmental organization, and a development agency, as it provided development funds without requiring any direct repayment, but did expect the Lancashire cotton industry to benefit indirectly in the longer term from the availability more secure cotton supplies.

  • British Cotton Growing Association (BCGA) fue una asociación de varios organismos relacionados con la industria del algodón Lancashire formada en 1902 para reducir la dependencia de la industria de los suministros de algodón en bruto de los Estados Unidos mediante la promoción del desarrollo del cultivo de algodón en el Imperio Británico. Fue descrita como una organización «semifilantrópica», o una combinación de una organización no gubernamental y una agencia de desarrollo, ya que proporcionaba fondos para el desarrollo sin requerir ningún reembolso directo, pero esperaba que la industria del algodón de Lancashire se beneficiara indirectamente en el largo plazo de Suministros de algodón más seguros.​ (es)
