The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) introduced the [**World Cotton Calendar**](http://worldcottoncalendar.icac.org)during the organization’s 73rd Plenary Meeting, recently held in Thessaloniki, Greece. The information that drives the World Cotton Calendar comes from a database maintained by the ICAC, containing data on all aspects of cotton production field operations – including ginning and picking – from 37 countries. The Calendar contains information on varieties planted and area under each variety, early and mid-season insects, narrow and broadleaf weeds, quantity of fertilizer applied and diseases.

The Calendar also includes up to five important cotton-related activities per month.

Access to the information is free, and the Calendar will be updated on regular basis. To access Calendar data, zoom in on a country and respective region (if cotton is produced in more than one region). Click on the selected blue dot for a list of titles for available data.
