The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) has completely overhauled its website. The cutting-edge site is more interactive and intuitive. It’s faster and more responsive. It makes it easier for people to find exactly what they’re looking for.
A learning corner is dedicated to teaching environmentally conscious best practices for cotton cultivation. At an interactive forum cotton professionals can discuss the industry’s biggest opportunities and most pressing challenges.
The site also employs powerful new functionality that puts the world of cotton information — literally — at the user’s fingertips. From the home page, visitors now need only three clicks to access comprehensive statistics from any country in the world, with no login required.
When a user clicks on Global Cotton Information and Advisory on the home page, they see a map of the world. One more click on the continent and another on a specific country, and users will see its cotton area, yield, production, consumption, exports, imports, stock-to-mill-use ratio, and more.
ICAC is the world’s leading source of unbiased, impartial information about the global cotton industry. International Cotton Advisory Committee seminars are held the world over. Among other issues these seminars explore the utilization of automation in the production process as well as innovative applications combining cotton and synthetic fibers.
