The International Cotton Association (ICA) has launched a new podcast, "The Thing About Cotton," spotlighting the cotton value chain and female leaders in the industry. Hosted by ICA’s Women in Cotton Committee members Camille Cluzel (Louis Dreyfus Company), Eimear McDonagh (AgriDirect), and Katie Farren (Cargill Cotton), the podcast aims to educate and inspire.
In Episode 1, ICA President Kim Hanna discusses the history and structure of the cotton industry. She expressed her honor in being the inaugural guest and emphasized the podcast's potential to highlight the positive aspects of cotton and provide a platform for women in the industry.
Episode 2 features Eva Bille, EU Policy Director at Hill & Knowlton Brussels, who delves into EU legislation's impact on the global cotton value chain, particularly concerns over PEF regulations favoring manmade fibers. Bille stressed the importance of these discussions for the cotton supply chain's awareness and preparedness.
