the main source of cotton for the industry

Dear Industry Partners,
Located on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, Vietnam
has one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia. Vietnam’s textile
and garment sector has seen a steady and sustainable rise over
the past years, and with more than 3,800 companies; it is the
leading export sector. Similarly; the Government of Vietnam is
actively seeking to grow cotton farming by allocating around
13600 kg of cotton seeds to assist the cotton project in seven
provinces.
Also, as a member of The Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN) and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Vietnam stands to
benefit greatly from the free trade agreement (FTA), making it a
perfect location for cotton trade and investment.
We would like to welcome the global cotton industry to Ho Chi
Minh,Vietnam for the IBC’s Asia Cotton Outlook Summit 2015.This
Inaugural conference will identify global trends, regional demand-
supply patterns and price outlook for the cotton industry while
focusing on technological updates and business opportunities
across the cotton value chain.
Vietnam Cotton & Spinning Association-VCOSA is delighted to
support this conference, which will bring together top industry
players, government decision makers and local industry bodies
on a single platform to discuss strategies and solutions for the
cotton market.
The conference is your one stop solution for trade, policy and
investment outlook and a fantastic opportunity to grow your global
network and built business relationships.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the Asia Cotton
Outlook in Vietnam and we look forward to meeting you on the
day.
Yours Sincerely,
Nguyen Van Tuan
Vice Chairman
Vietnam Cotton and Spinning Association (VCOSA)
The trio of Vietnam, Indonesia and Bangladesh are instrumental in driving Asian import demand for cotton. Throw in India and Pakistan in the
mix as top suppliers, and Singapore as a trade hub, the Asian region becomes a compelling hub for Cotton.
Vietnam also stands to benefit greatly from theTrans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and a range of free trade agreements, which have already resulted
in textile investment, thereby increasing import demand for Cotton.
Supported and Co Hosted by the Vietnam Cotton & Spinning Association (VCOSA), IBC’s Asia Cotton Outlook Summit, will provide a holistic
view of the cotton industry focusing on trade outlook, price forecast and market opportunities. Most importantly, it will put you in front of
Vietnamese and other Asian buyers and traders to cement business relationships.
Co-Hosted by the Vietnam Cotton
and Spinning Association
