“Making the report available online allows us to eliminate the use of paper, ink, the printing process and postal delivery service, all of which are typically involved in the production of an annual report. The online version leads to significant savings of environmental resources and improves the Cotton Board’s bottom-line,” says Brad Robb, Cotton Board Vice President of Communications.
The Cotton Research and Promotion Act established the Cotton Board as a quasi-governmental, non-profit entity to serve as the administrator of the Cotton Research & Promotion Program. Funded by America’s cotton producers and importers through the cotton check-off, the Program’s research and promotion activities are conducted worldwide by Cotton Incorporated, the Cotton Board’s sole-source contracting organization, to increase the demand for and improve the market position of cotton.
The Cotton Research and Promotion Program continues to work in all areas of cotton’s pipeline – from the field to the consumer – to keep cotton the number one fiber choice in the U.S. For more information about the Cotton Board and the innovative activities stemming from the Program, visit www.cottonboard.org.
