The International Cotton Association (ICA) held a trade event in the US, November 8 to 10, 2022.

Over 450 delegates from the global cotton community gathered. This was the ICA’s first traditional trade event in three years. The three-day event saw a variety of top industry speakers take to the stage. The event began with a series of regional forums and a diversity focused panel session. There was also plenty of opportunity for delegates to network and do business, one of the main event attractions. The ICA fully embraces sustainability and to that end continues to work with sustainability platforms around the world.

This year, ICA has signed MOUs with Better Cotton, US Cotton Trust Protocol, and Cotton Made in Africa, and actively engages with all organisations to promote sustainability throughout the cotton supply chain. The Women in Cotton group continues to make great strides in increasing diversity within the cotton industry. Next year's event will take place in Singapore, October 10 to12, 2023.

Promoting global cotton trade, the International Cotton Association (ICA) is the world’s leading cotton trade association and arbitral body.The ICA has more than 550 members and its membership spans all corners of the globe and represents all sectors of the supply chain.
