ACSA Cotton Institute Prepares For Start Of 16th Session

The American Cotton Shippers Association (ACSA) International Cotton Institute at the University of Memphis' Fogelman Executive Center is gearing up for its sixteenth consecutive annual session. The cotton-specific business program begins June 2 and will conclude with graduation ceremonies on July 20.

Although participation was down sharply last year due to the H1N1 flu virus and economic reasons, participants from 10 countries have already registered for this year's eight-week program with more on the way.

As in the past, several field trips are planned so participants can witness firsthand growing, ginning, warehousing, classing and cooperative marketing. A highlight of the program will be a trip to Cotton Incorporated in Cary, N. C., where all types of textile production will be presented, including storm proof denim, recycled denim that is converted into construction insulation and cotton fiber wall covering for interior walls.
