This week’s Cotton Newsline is three cuts. All cuts Woods Eastland, Vice Chairman of the National Cotton Council and president/CEO of Staplcotn Cooperative of Greenville, Mississippi.
Suggested introduction cut one:
With U.S. cotton fiber production estimated to reach a record twenty-one and a half million bales for 2004/2005, Cotton Council International’s work to help move U.S. cotton fiber into overseas markets is extremely important, says Staplcotn president and CEO Woods Eastland.
Suggested introduction cut two:
Members of Staplcotn, the largest producer-owned cotton cooperative in the United States, rely on organizations like Cotton Council International to promote U.S. cotton to international customers.
Suggested introduction for cut three:
U.S. cotton and its products offer several advantages other cottons can not give customers, says Eastland. These incentives help U.S. cotton maintain a strong and growing demand overseas.
