China industry leaders take look at U.S. Cotton Belt

This month, eight Chinese cotton industry leaders visited the U.S. Cotton Belt to learn more about the U.S. cotton industry.



The Oct. 31-Nov. 5 visit to the U.S. Cotton Belt was the third since the establishment of the U.S.-China Cotton Leadership Exchange Program by the NCC and the CCA. The exchange between the two countries was established by a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2006 that promised cooperation between the countries' cotton industries.


Sponsored by the NCC, Cotton Council International (CCI) and the Cotton Foundation, the tour had stops in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tenn., and Lubbock, Texas, and included briefings by the NCC, CCI and USDA.
