Textile executives from textile mills in Bangladesh and Pakistan are touring the U.S. Cotton Belt to familiarize themselves with cotton production, processing and marketing in the U.S. and to meet with U.S. exporters. The trip started Sunday, July 25 and ends Monday, Aug. 2. The purpose of the tour and all COTTON USA Special Trade Missions is to build trading ties between the U.S. cotton industry and key textile manufacturing leaders; the main goal being to help U.S. cotton gain more market share across the world.
The U.S. supplies more than half of the cotton that the eight participating textile manufacturers from the two countries import each year according to Cotton Council International President Wallace Darneille. He says the tour presents a wonderful opportunity to give the important cotton customers an intimate look at the industry infrastructure of the U.S. and commitment to reliably supplying quality fiber to the world marketplace. The touring manufacturers are important because they represent some of the largest cotton consumers in the world, Pakistan being third largest and Bangladesh the sixth largest.
