ICAC Awards 2010 Plenary Meeting to Lubbock, Texas

Avatar for Jim.Robinson By Jim.Robinson|December 10, 2009

The International Cotton Advisory Committee has accepted an invitation from James Miller, Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services at USDA, to host the 69th Plenary Meeting of the ICAC in Lubbock, Texas from September 19-24, 2010.

A theme for the annual meeting and the major topics for discussion will be chosen in January and February, and the agenda will be developed in the months after that.

The 69th Plenary Meeting of the ICAC (the term “plenary” is used by international organizations to refer to annual or general meetings involving all members) will be an opportunity to showcase the Lubbock Region and the cotton industry of the United States. Approximately 500 participants are expected during the week of September 20, 2010. The meeting will be held in the new Overton Hotel.

The ICAC Secretariat will be working with USDA, the State Department and cotton industry leaders to choose the theme of the meeting, identify topics for discussion and invite speakers of interest to all participants from producing, consuming and trading countries.

The purposes of ICAC meetings are to exchange information, showcase best practices and encourage cooperation on matters of shared interest.

During a time of radical industry consolidation, a decline in world cotton area, rising concerns about resource constraints and profitability, and concerns about the future of demand for cotton, the ICAC meeting in Lubbock will be a great opportunity to meet representatives of governments and cotton industry associations from around the world.

I appreciate the support of the United States for the ICAC, and I am looking forward to being in Lubbock next September.
