MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The National Cotton Council (NCC) greatly appreciates the Trump Administration for its strong support of the bipartisan Buying American Cotton Act (BACA).
“We applaud President Trump and the Administration for recognizing the importance of BACA and the role it can play in strengthening demand for U.S. cotton,” said NCC Chairman Nathan Reed. “This landmark legislation supports our farmers, encourages new investment in U.S. textile manufacturing, and enhances the resilience of our supply chains.”
By leveraging the value and traceability of U.S. cotton, BACA would help strengthen demand for U.S. cotton, expand domestic production, support U.S. textile manufacturing, create new jobs and boost local economies across the American cotton industry.
NCC looks forward to working with the Administration, Congress and co-sponsors to advance this important legislation for America’s cotton industry.
