National Cotton Council Chairman Woods Eastland commended Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns and US Trade Representative Robert Portman for their efforts in developing a program to improve the conditions confronting West African cotton producers.
The program, announced by Ambassador Portman and Secretary Johanns, results from more than a year of preparatory work involving the National Cotton Council, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the US Agency for International Development (US-AID), several US land grant universities and US non-profit organizations.

The National Cotton Council of America's mission is to ensure the ability of all US cotton industry segments to compete effectively and profitably in the raw cotton, oilseed and US-manufactured product markets at home and abroad.
It serves as the central forum for consensus-building among producers, ginners, warehousers, merchants, cottonseed processors/dealers, cooperatives and textile manufacturers.
The organization is the unifying force in working with the government to ensure that cotton's interests are considered.
