ICAC’s 78th Plenary Meeting to be held in Brisbane in 2019

The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) officially closed its 77th Plenary Meeting in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire with few announcements including the acceptance of the meeting’s final statement by the steering committee. This statement included ICAC’s three-year Strategic Plan. The plan, developed over the course of the prior 12 months, establishes a starting point that will ensure the organisation is on track to meet its future goals, and was passed unanimously.

The Steering Committee also agreed that next year’s Technical Seminar will focus on Traceability Technologies, and explore the ways international seed exchange can help create new varieties that are ideally suited to flourish in the future — especially in light of new challenges such as climate change. ICAC also accepted an invitation from the government of Australia to hold the 78th Plenary Meeting from December 2-6, 2019 in Brisbane.

The 77th Plenary Meeting featured more than a dozen open and breakout sessions, covering topics such as combating pest resistance to biotech cotton; the use of drones and robots on small-scale farms; the additional revenue farmers can generate from cotton by-products; and ICAC’s #TruthAboutCotton campaign to counter the misleading claims that are being made about the cotton industry in the media.
