“The Summit provides a forum where we can detail U.S. cotton's unique attributes and its superior technical services to these important international customers. U.S. cotton needs this exposure because our industry is exporting significantly more raw fiber than it did at the turn of the century.”
That's reflected in the data. NCC economists said the 2005-06 marketing year was the fifth consecutive of record high U.S. raw cotton exports. In fact, 2005-06 exports increased by almost 25 percent over the 2004-05 volume.
The Summit was successful in offering the attendees help with textile market sourcing challenges. Presentations ranged from economics, innovation and consumer marketing to the challenges and opportunities facing the global cotton complex.
The overseas mill executives also visited U.S. cotton farms, gins and other facilities en route to or after attending the Summit.
“These tours reinforce what the participants hear at the Summit and solidify relationships between U.S. industry members and the key customers they supply,” Burns noted.
