The Third Cotton School Of The American International Cotton Association Held In Haikou

Sponsored by the international cotton association of the United States, the third "cotton school" for two days was held in Haikou, Hainan on 22-23 April 2010.

More than 150 business representatives from more than 80 cotton textile enterprises all over the country have systematically studied and discussed a whole supply chain such as cotton planting, production, technology, circulation and risk management.

Participating enterprises include Shandong Ruyi Technology Group Co., Ltd., Bailong East Limited, Tianhong (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Zhejiang navigation Cole Textile Co., Ltd., Lu Tai textile Limited by Share Ltd, Hangzhou Yongxiang Textile Co., Ltd., Wuhan cotton Group Co., Ltd. and other well-known enterprises, including many small and medium-sized cotton textile enterprises.

The Agricultural Commissioner of the US embassy in China was also invited to attend the "cotton school".

Cotton yarn production is the foundation of textile production, and cotton procurement is the most important link in cotton yarn production.

For many years, the world's importers of raw cotton will send their main staff to the United States to receive training in all kinds of "cotton schools".

For Chinese cotton textile enterprises, sending employees to the United States for training is not only a waste of financial resources and time, but also a challenge to English teaching.

The United States International Cotton Association is one of the export promotion organizations in the US cotton industry. It attaches great importance to the long-term cooperative relationship between the international cotton traders, cooperatives and cotton mills in China. In order to enable Chinese cotton textile enterprises to get the same training and buy more suitable cotton, a cotton school is held in China every two years. Through the seminars and seminars, the buyers of China's cotton importing enterprises are introduced to introduce the status of the cotton industry in the United States, and help Chinese enterprises understand the United States cotton comprehensively and comprehensively from the contents of the American cotton variety, trade mode, contract signing and raw cotton purchase.

Enterprises can choose the most suitable and most needed cotton varieties according to their different types of cotton textile production, so as to effectively control and save procurement costs and maximize the profit margin of products.

Since its first launch in 2006, the "cotton school" has been successfully held in China for the three time. It has been warmly welcomed by the majority of cotton textile enterprises and has become one of the most influential brand activities of the international cotton association of the United States.

The cotton school is chaired by Ms. Mao Kailin, Chinese director of the international cotton association of America. It is mainly composed of experts from the US Department of agriculture, the American cotton merchants association, the national cotton Federation, the US cotton supply and marketing cooperative, the New York cotton exchange, the American Supima Association and the us Cotton Corp.

As the head of the international cotton association of China, Ms. Mao Kailin carefully organized and organized this event. At the opening ceremony, she said, "the global economic dynamics have changed frequently in recent years. The United States International Cotton Association has been maintaining and deepening the exchange with the American Cotton Association and the delegation of the China Cotton Association. The two sides have a better understanding of the cotton industry in both countries.

This year, our cotton school also needs to constantly update and upgrade the content of "teaching" to reflect the new situation of the global cotton and cotton textile market.

In this year's curriculum, on the basis of maintaining the original course content, we have added specific contents to help us cotton users to sign contracts with cotton merchants.

We invited the experts from the United States to conduct lectures on world themes from the macro and micro perspectives, covering almost all the common problems raised by the US cotton users: the 2010 cotton planting situation in the United States; the detailed classification system of the US cotton; the introduction of the whole cotton logistics from harvesting to testing; the risk management of cotton spinning enterprises; the global supply chain of COTTON USA; the general situation of the American Supima Association; the Cotton Corp technology and the American consumer market.

At present, China's textile industry is vigorously promoting the high value-added products, and more and more enterprises are improving their added value through good quality and brand strategy. This trend has also increased the demand for high-grade cotton raw materials by the dominant enterprises in the industry.

Puma cotton is the highest grade and best quality cotton in the United States. Its fiber length and color are good, and has formed brand advantage in the industry.

This meeting specially invited the president of the Supima association to give a special lecture to answer the customers' needs and questions about Puma cotton.

In addition, technical experts from the US Cotton Corp bring the most advanced technology development trend in the field of textile, and introduce how to use advanced technology to improve product grades, such as waterproof treatment technology for fabrics, functional finishing technology, etc.

This event is highly attended by the expert team, which is rarely seen in the past global activities of the international cotton association of the United States. The aim is to enable participants to gain substantial value-added services.

During the speech and questioning session, the participants consulted experts on the topics involved in the lecture and the problems encountered in the process of purchasing cotton and cotton, and the atmosphere of communication and interaction was warm and harmonious.

After the lecture, experts and guests attended the thematic discussion on "the revival of the world textile procurement market".

A representative of the enterprise said: "cotton schools provide cotton textile enterprises with a comprehensive understanding of the opportunity of the United States and cotton, and the whole process of using simultaneous interpretation is easier for us to learn. It is indeed beneficial for us to learn about the US cotton and the global cotton economy, and is helpful for further business in the future."

And all the guests have said that if the international cotton association of the United States again organized the "cotton school" activities, they will participate again.

The "cotton school" has also prepared a variety of "extracurricular activities" for all the participants and guests, specially choosing the venue for the study in the scenic Hainan international tourism island.

Besides attending the day's study, guests can also enjoy the beautiful sunset glow on the white beach.

The barbecue banquet organized by the event enables experts and students to enjoy the pure American jazz in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and to participate in the traditional local style bamboo dance performance, and to make use of the rare opportunity to continue to exchange and discuss.

The third "cotton school" has come to a successful conclusion. The international cotton association of the United States will continue to hold the "cotton school" brand activity in the future. As an effective tool, "cotton school" has further enhanced the recognition degree of the US cotton in China's cotton textile enterprises, and is also a platform for active communication and dialogue, so as to promote the exchange and common development of the American cotton industry and China's cotton textile industry.
