Memphis, Tenn. – Delegates at the National Cotton Council’s (NCC) upcoming annual meeting will review and approve resolutions to help U.S. cotton’s central organization guide the U.S. cotton industry in the coming year.
At this forum, set for February 16-18 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida, industry representatives from the 17 cotton-producing states and all seven industry segments will establish policies reflecting common interests and promoting mutual benefits for its broad membership and ancillary industries.
Highlights of the meeting’s General Session on February 18 include: 1) NCC Chairman Shawn Holladay reporting on major NCC activities and issues the industry will face in 2024 and 2) Dr. Jody Campiche, the NCC’s vice president of Economics & Policy Analysis, presenting the NCC’s Economic Outlook that includes the NCC’s 2024 planting intentions survey results.
