The new Azerbaijan Medium and Long Staple Grade Standards have been adopted as the ICA official standards for Azerbaijan cotton. These standards will be used by cotton merchants for the purpose of cotton classification and by ICA arbitrators to resolve quality disputes in the case of a quality arbitration.
International Cotton Association Ltd (ICA) holds the largest collection of worldwide Cotton Grade Standards, which represent the current crops of cotton grown in each country. They serve as a benchmark in international trading and it is important that we continuously keep them up to date.
The ICA is the world's leading international cotton trade association and arbitral body. We carry 170 years of history and a clear mission for the future to protect the legitimate interests of all those involved in the cotton trade.
