COVID has forced International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) to postpone next World Cotton Research Conference to 2022. The conference has now been rescheduled from October 3 to 7, 2022, Egypt. The organizers plan to reconvene and evaluate the situation in March or April next year. They also plan to release research papers in June 2021 as Volume 1 and a new set of Proceedings – Volume 2 — during 2022 WCRC.
Formed in 1939, the ICAC is an association of cotton producing, consuming and trading countries. It acts as a catalyst for change by helping member countries maintain a healthy world cotton economy; provides transparency to the world cotton market by serving as a clearinghouse for technical information on cotton production; and serves as a forum for discussing cotton issues of international significance.
