This unique seminar is a comprehensive two week course, conducted in English and designed to provide delegates of all ages and experience with an insight into every aspect of the raw cotton trade.

The Seminar is aimed at Executives representing Cotton Merchants, Agents, Importers, Exporters, Ginners, Spinners and other allied trades. All are encouraged to apply and to share their local and international experience of ICA International Cotton Trade Seminar the industry.

“The Seminar covers everything around the cotton trade – from ginning to shipping, from quality arbitration to market perspectives. The subjects were well chosen and lecturers did a great job in presenting their respective topics”. Christian Schindler (2005 Seminar Delegate, Economist, International Textile Manufacturers Federation.)

Raw cotton was being imported into Britain during the 17th Century. It entered the country primarily through the Port of London but, in 1709, the pattern of imports began to change when Liverpool received a small quantity of the 2,000 bales imported in that year into the country.

The International Cotton Association now provides a worldwide service for the international sale, purchase and movement of raw cotton between producers, traders and consumers.
