“The volume of U.S. raw cotton exports to China has increased significantly, so we must follow through on that commitment to remain competitive in the Chinese and other global markets,” said McClendon, who emphasized that the NCC has a number of committees and task forces devoted to quality preservation and timely delivery.

“This is a great opportunity to discuss issues surrounding U.S. raw cotton quality and for continuing discussions of mutual benefit to our respective industries.”

McClendon said that in the visit, the team will emphasize various activities in which the U.S. cotton industry is working diligently to preserve and improve its fiber quality and to improve upon its service to its textile customers.

Those efforts range from choosing the appropriate plant varieties to ensuring proper harvesting, processing, handling and overall flow of cotton into the global marketplace.

“For example, given the strategic relationship between U. S. and China, the U.S. cotton industry strongly supports the development of mutually agreed upon cotton calibration standards,” McClendon said.

“To support this effort and China's transition to instrument classing, the U.S. industry has strongly encouraged USDA and others to work closely with Chinese fiber inspection officials.”
