The event was organised by the Chinese Cotton Association (CCA), the Research Centre for Agriculture (RCRE) and the China National Cotton Exchange (CNCE).
Further cooperating partners were the Chinese Cotton Textiles Association (CCTA), the National Cotton Council of America (NCC) and the Cotton Outlook. The conference counted more than 800 participants. Several delegations also came from Non-Asian countries.
The conference's topic was called “The Chinese cotton sector in the WTO and its effects on the world market”. Main points of the presentations, discussions, etc., were the Chinese crop during the season 2006/07 as well as consumption and stocks.
The visitors of the conference could choose between three subjects: The present development on the world market and short-term estimates; actual trends in fibre production and processing, and its influence on the world cotton market; as well as the challenge and the opportunities of the Chinese cotton sector.
Mr. Zhou Shentao, President of the China Cotton Association (CCA), held the opening speech. He referred to the developments in the cotton and textiles industry since China has joined the WTO, and emphasized the role of the China Cotton Association within this progress.
A “black list” of firms shallbe published for CCA members and companies trading with CCA members. Mr. Zhou also mentioned that the CCA became a member of the Committee for International Cooperation between Cotton Associations (CICCA) during this year.
