International Cotton Association (ICA): Site of the Day – Monday August 25th, 2014

We came across the International Cotton Association (ICA) in a Wall Street Journal article a while back and found it an interesting site. The ICA began life over 170 years ago in 1841 in Liverpool, UK, when a group of cotton brokers created a set of bylaws and rules to help regulate the sale and purchase of raw cotton. Today, the majority of the world’s cotton is still traded internationally under ICA Bylaws & Rules. The rules have changed with time, but their aim remains the same – to create a safe trading environment.  The ICA now has more than 550 members and its membership spans all corners of the globe and represents all sectors of the supply chain. The ICA operates on a not-for-profit basis and, in addition to its Bylaws & Rules, it offers a range of services – arbitration, training, trade and networking events, plus cotton testing and research via ICA Bremen.

We hope you find the International Cotton Association (ICA) site interesting and useful.
