The National Cotton Council’s leadership team has returned from a visit to China where they gathered information from Chinese cotton industry officials and updated them on key facets of the U.S. cotton industry. National Cotton Council Vice chairman Charles parker, a Senath, Missouri, producer, said one of visit’s primary purposes was to relay the message to key Chinese cotton officials that the U.S. cotton industry continues its commitment to deliver high quality cotton in a timely manner.
The U.S. cotton industry delegation was the fourth to visit China since the establishment of the U.S. - China Cotton Leadership Exchange Program by the National Cotton Council and the Chinese Cotton Association. While in Beijing, delegation members heard reports from several Chinese organizations and visited farms, a cotton variety research center, a cotton gin and the Hongrun New Materials textile mill.
Parker notes - China is the United States’ largest customer of raw cotton and we are committed to meeting their needs in terms of both quality and timely shipments. He said - this visit gave us the necessary platform to discuss issues surrounding U.S. raw cotton quality and reinforced our continued commitment to ongoing dialogue between our two countries.
