It is an organization designed to promote cooperation in cotton affairs, particularly those of international scope and significance. It affords its members an understanding of the world cotton situation and provides a forum for international consultation and discussion. The mission of the ICAC is to assist governments in fostering a healthy world cotton economy. It achieves its mission by providing transparency to the world cotton market, serving as a clearinghouse for technical information on cotton production, raising awareness of emerging issues, providing information relevant to the solving of problems, and encouraging cooperation to achieve common objectives. By serving as an objective statistical observer and by bringing together producing, consuming and trading countries, and all segments of the cotton industry, ICAC serves a unique role as a catalyst for constructive change and as a training ground for researchers from member countries through its annual Research Associate Program. The Committee has consultative status with the U.N. and its specialized agencies and cooperates closely with other international organizations in matters of common interest. The functions of the International Cotton Advisory Committee are defined in the Rules and Regulations, which are available on the Web and by request. These are: • To observe and keep in close touch with developments affecting the world cotton situation. • To collect and disseminate complete, authentic, and timely statistics on world cotton production, trade, consumption, stocks and prices. • To suggest, as and when advisable, to the governments represented, any measures the Advisory Committee considers suitable and practicable for the furtherance of international collaboration with due regard to maintaining and developing a sound world cotton economy. • To be the forum for international discussions on matters related to cotton prices. The Committee is the outgrowth of an International Cotton Meeting held in Washington, in September 1939. At that time, world stocks of cotton had reached nearly 5.5 million tons, of which over half were located in the United States. The following ten producing countries convened in Washington, D.C., in September 1939: Brazil, British cotton exporting colonies, Egypt, French cotton exporting colonies, India, Mexico, Peru, Sudan, the USSR, and the United States, to discuss problems of over-production, rising stocks and falling prices. The principal objective was to take concerted international action to avoid chaotic developments in the world cotton economy. The following resolution was passed: “1. That an advisory committee be set up in Washington representing the countries participating in the present conference, and including in addition representatives of other important cotton growing and exporting nations; such committee to undertake the following function: “(a) To observe and keep in close touch with developments in the world cotton situation. “(b) To suggest, as and when advisable, to the Governments represented any measures the committee considers suitable and practicable for the achievement of ultimate collaboration.” The ICAC met for the first time in Washington, D.C. in April 1940. At first, membership was limited to cotton producing countries. After the fourth meeting, an invitation to join the Committee was extended to “all other United and Associated Nations substantially interested in the production, export or import of cotton.” At the fifth Meeting of the ICAC in May 1946, it was decided to establish a Secretariat and a governing Executive Committee consisting of representatives from six cotton producing and six cotton consuming countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, France, India, Peru, the United Kingdom and the United States. The statistical and economic information program was begun, which became an intrinsic part of the Committee’s work. Subsequently, in 1948, it was agreed to replace the original Executive Committee with a Standing Committee in which all countries would have a voice. The ICAC does not have a role in setting market prices and does not intervene in market mechanisms. However, the ICAC Secretariat provides valuable information that is timely and relevant to all sectors of the cotton industry in assessing market conditions and it is the premier source of data on the world cotton industry. The Secretariat forecasts cotton supply, use and prices, estimates the supply of extra-fine cotton, and tracks exports by destination and imports by origin. It measures and forecasts cotton consumption and cotton's share of fiber demand in the world and by region. The Secretariat is the primary source in the world for statistics on fiber demand. The ICAC is actively engaged in efforts to develop an international consensus on the adoption of objective classification standards to replace the traditional system of grades and types, and it is facilitating efforts in producing countries to develop methods of reducing contamination in cotton. ICAC organizes world cotton research conferences at four-year intervals and helps to sponsor regional technical conferences around the world. ICAC's Technical Information Section (TIS) produces special technical publications and undertakes research on the cost of cotton production, production practices, organic and transgenic cotton, and developments in fiber testing, to keep all segments of the industry informed. 2 MEMBERSHIP Membership in ICAC is open to all members of the United Nations or of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, expressing an interest in cotton. Any other government expressing an interest in cotton shall be eligible to apply for membership. The annual budget of the Committee—US$1,800,000 in 2014/15—is supported by assessments to member governments, subscriptions to publications and participant fees at meetings. Forty percent of the total assessment is shared equally among member countries. The remaining sixty percent is allocated based on the average trade in raw cotton in the four most recent cotton seasons. In 2013/14, the equal contribution is US$18,165 and the additional calculation is US$105 per 1,000 tons of average cotton trade (imports plus exports). Washington. Attention is given to the current world cotton situation, cotton policy matters, and also to assignments from the plenary meetings. THE SECRETARIAT The Secretariat of the Committee is located in Washington, DC and is composed of an international staff headed by an Executive Director whose appointment and contract of employment is determined by a plenary meeting. The following individuals have served as executive directors (executive secretary): Mr. R. Whitaker, May 1947–Mar 1949 Mr. Robert Evans, Apr 1949–Feb 1963 Dr. J. C. Santley, Mar 1963–Dec 1986 Dr. Lawrence. H. Shaw, Jan 1987–Dec 1998 Dr. Terry P. Townsend, Jan 1999–Dec 2013 Mr. José Sette, Jan 2014- PLENARY MEETINGS At the invitation of a member government, plenary meetings of the Advisory Committee are held each year. Meetings alternate as much as possible between cotton exporting and importing countries. A provisional agenda and time schedule for each plenary meeting is prepared by the Standing Committee. Provision is made for the exchange of information on the cotton situation in various countries and for discussions on international policy matters. Since the mid-1960s, technical seminars on subjects of interest to researchers have been held as a part of each plenary meeting. The Secretariat of the Committee publishes the formal proceedings of each plenary meeting. The official languages of the ICAC are Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Full si mul ta neous interpretation is provided at plenary meetings. STANDING COMMITTEE A Standing Committee, consisting of representatives of all member governments, gives continuity to the activities of the International Cotton Advisory Committee between plenary meetings. The Standing Committee convenes in The Secretariat assists the Committee in carrying out its work program by developing and publishing statistics and analyses of the world cotton situation; by carrying out a program of work to disseminate information on cotton production research; by cooperating with other organizations to promote a sound world cotton economy; and by facilitating discussions on matters related to cotton prices. COORDINATING AGENCIES Each member government is required to establish a “permanent national coordinating agency” to provide the Secretariat with statistics on the cotton situation and to distribute publications and reports received from the Secretariat. Under this cooperative arrangement, there has been continued improvement in the quantity and quality of statistics on cotton available on a world basis. Coordinating agencies are frequently called upon to supply information requested by special inquiries from the Committee. Their cooperation has made possible world surveys on various subjects of importance to member governments. 3 COMITE CONSULTATIF INTERNATIONAL DU COTON Le Comité consultatif international du coton (CCIC) est une association de gouvernements ayant un intérêt dans la production, l’exportation, l’importation et la consommation de coton. C’est une organisation créée dans le but d’encourager la coopération dans le domaine du coton, en particulier sur le plan international. Elle permet à ses membres de comprendre la situation cotonnière mondiale et de participer à des échanges de vues et des consultations internationales. La mission du CCIC est d’assister les gouvernements à encourager une économie mondiale du coton saine. Il accomplit cette mission en assurant la transparence sur le marché mondial du coton, en servant de centre d'information technique sur la production de coton, en sensibilisant sur les questions émergentes, en fournissant des informations pertinentes pour la résolution de problèmes, et en encourageant la coopération pour atteindre des objectifs communs. En agissant comme un observateur statistique objectif et en réunissant les pays producteurs, consommateurs et ceux engagés dans le commerce de coton, ainsi que tous les segments de l'industrie du coton, le CCIC joue un rôle unique de catalyseur pour des changements constructifs et offre de centre de formation pour les chercheurs des pays membres, à travers son Programme annuel d’associés de recherche. Le Comité a un statut consultatif avec les Nations Unies et ses institutions et collabore étroitement avec d’autres organisations internationales sur les questions présentant un intérêt commun. Les fonctions du Comité consultatif international du coton sont définies par le Règlement statutaire, dont un exemplaire peut être obtenu sur demande et sur le site Web. Ces fonctions sont les suivantes : • Observer et suivre de près l’évolution de la conjoncture économique dans la mesure où elle intéresse la situation mondiale du coton. • Réunir et publier des statistiques complètes, officielles et à jour sur la production, le commerce, la consommation, les stocks et les prix du coton dans le monde. • Proposer, s’il en est besoin, aux gouvernements participants, toutes mesures que le Comité consultatif juge appropriées et réalisables pour renforcer la collaboration internationale en vue de développer et maintenir une économie mondiale du coton reposant sur des bases saines. • Etre l’enceinte où doivent se dérouler les discussions internationales portant sur les prix du coton. Le Comité a été constitué à la suite d’une Réunion internationale sur le coton qui a eu lieu à Washington en septembre 1939. A cette époque, les stocks mondiaux de coton atteignaient presque 5,5 millions de tonnes ; plus de la moitié de ces stocks se trouvaient aux Etats-Unis. Les dix pays producteurs suivants s’étaient donc réunis à Washington, D.C. en septembre 1939 : le Brésil, les colonies anglaises exportatrices de coton, l’Egypte, les colonies françaises exportatrices de coton, l’Inde, le Mexique, le Pérou, le Soudan, l’URSS et les Etats-Unis. Les discussions portaient sur des problèmes tels que la surproduction, la hausse des stocks et la chute des prix. L’objectif principal était d’éviter, par une intervention internationale concertée, que l’économie cotonnière mondiale évolue d’une manière chaotique. La résolution suivante a été adoptée : “1. Un Comité consultatif établi à Washington représente les pays participants à la conférence en cours et comprend également les représentants de pays exportateurs et cultivateurs de coton ; un tel comité devra assumer les principales fonctions suivantes : “(a) Observer et suivre de près l’évolution de la conjoncture économique dans la mesure où elle intéresse la situation mondiale du coton. “(b) Proposer, s’il en est besoin, aux gouvernements participants, toutes mesures que le Comité consultatif juge appropriées et réalisables en vue d’une collaboration étroite.” Le CCIC s’est réuni pour la première fois à Washington, D.C. en avril 1940. Au début, l’accession à la qualité de membre était limitée aux pays producteurs de coton. Après la quatrième réunion, une invitation a été envoyée “à tous les pays membres des Nations-Unies et pays associés qui portent un intérêt considérable à la production, à l’exportation ou à l’importation de coton.” A la cinquième Réunion, en mai 1946, il a été décidé d’établir un Secrétariat et un Comité exécutif constitué de représentants de six pays producteurs et six pays consommateurs de coton : l’Argentine, la Belgique, le Brésil, le Canada, la Chine, l’Egypte, les Etats-Unis, la France, l’Inde, le Pérou, le Royaume-Uni, et la Tchécoslovaquie. Un programme d’information statistique et économique commença et devint par la suite une part intrinsèque du Comité. En 1948, il a été décidé de remplacer le Comité exécutif par une Commission permanente à laquelle tous les Etats membres peuvent avoir droit à une voix. Le CCIC n’a pas de rôle dans la fixation des prix de marché et n’intervient pas dans les mécanismes du marché. Toutefois, le Secrétariat du CCIC fournit des informations précieuses, à la fois opportunes et pertinentes à tous les secteurs de l'industrie du coton dans leur évaluation des conditions du marché, et est la première source de données sur l'industrie mondiale du coton. Le Secrétariat prévoit l’approvisionnement, l'utilisation et les prix du coton, estime l'offre de coton extra-fin, et chiffre les exportations par destination et les importations par origine. Il mesure et prévoit la consommation de coton et la part du coton dans la consommation de fibres textiles dans le monde et dans les diverses régions. Le Secrétariat est la principale source de statistiques sur la demande de fibres. Le CCIC est engagé activement dans les efforts pour développer un consensus international sur l'adoption des normes de classification objectives afin de remplacer le système traditionnel de grades et de types. Le CCIC est en train de faciliter les efforts des pays producteurs pour développer des méthodes de réduction de la contamination dans le coton. Le CCIC organise des conférences mondiales de recherche sur le coton à intervalles de quatre ans et 4 aide à parrainer des conférences régionales techniques dans le monde entier. La Section d’information technique du CCIC produit des publications techniques spéciales et entreprend des recherches sur le coût de production du coton, les pratiques de production du coton, le coton biologique et le coton biotech, et les développements dans les tests de la fibre de coton, pour garder tous les segments de l'industrie informés. MEMBRES L’adhésion au CCIC est ouverte à tout membre des Nations Unies ou de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture ayant exprimé un intérêt pour le coton. Tout gouvernement exprimant son intérêt pour le coton pourra solliciter une adhésion. Le budget annuel du Comité pour l’année fiscale 2014/15 est de 1 800 000 dollars US et provient des contributions des Etats membres, des abonnements aux publications et des droits d’inscription des participants aux réunions plénieres. Quarante pour cent de la totalité des contributions des Etats membres est réparti entre les pays membres. Le solde de 60 pour cent est proportionnellement calculé sur la base de la moyenne du volume commercial de coton brut des quatre dernières campagnes. En 2013/14, la contribution fixe de chaque Etat membre est de 18 165 dollars US, et la contribution variable est basée sur un calcul de 105 dollars US pour 1 000 tonnes de commerce de coton en moyenne (importations plus exportations). REUNIONS PLENIERES Des Réunions plénières du Comité consultatif sont tenues chaque année, sur l’invitation d’un Etat membre. Les Réunions doivent alterner autant que possible entre pays exportateurs et importateurs. La Commission permanente établit un ordre du jour provisoire et un horaire des séances pour chaque Réunion plénière. Il est également prévu des échanges de renseignements concernant la situation du coton dans les divers pays et des discussions relatives aux questions de politique cotonnière internationale. Depuis le milieu des années 1960, des colloques techniques sont tenus en rapport avec la Réunion plénière, sur des sujets ayant un intérêt commun à la recherche en matière cotonnière. Le Secrétariat du Comité publie le procès-verbal officiel de chaque Réunion. Les langues officielles du CCIC sont l’anglais, l’arabe, l’espagnol, le français et le russe. Une interprétation simultanée est assurée au cours des Réunions plénières. LA COMMISSION PERMANENTE Pour assurer la continuité des travaux du Comité consultatif international du coton entre les Réunions plénières, une Commission permanente a été constituée, composée de représentants de tous les Etats membres. Elle se réunit à Washington. Elle se préoccupe surtout de la situation actuelle du coton dans le monde, des questions de politique cotonnière et des travaux que lui a confiés la Réunion plénière. LE SECRETARIAT Le Secrétariat du Comité est situé à Washington, DC et est composé d’un personnel international à la tête duquel se trouve le Directeur exécutif dont la nomination et le contrat sont décidés par une Réunion plénière. Les personnes suivantes ont été les différents Directeurs exécutifs (Secrétaires généraux): M. Rodney Whitaker, Fév 1947-Mars 1949 M. Robert Evans, Avril 1949-Fév 1963 M. J. C. Santley, Mars 1963-Déc 1986 M. Lawrence H. Shaw, Jan 1987-Déc 1998 M. Terry P. Townsend, Jan 1999- Déc 2013 M. José Sette, Jan 2014Le Secrétariat aide le Comité à remplir son programme de travail en développant et en publiant des statistiques, et en analysant la situation cotonnière mondiale ; en se chargeant d’un programme de travail pour disséminer des informations scientifiques et établir de meilleurs échanges entre spécialistes en coopérant avec d’autres organisations afin de maintenir une économie mondiale du coton reposant sur des bases saines ; et en facilitant les discussions sur tout sujet relatif aux prix du coton. ORGANISMES DE COORDINATION Des résolutions adoptées par le Comité demandent à tous les Etats membres de créer “des organismes permanents de coordination” qui fournissent chaque mois au Secrétariat une série de statistiques sur la situation cotonnière et diffusent les publications et les rapports que lui font parvenir le Secrétariat. Dans le cadre de ces dispositions de coopération, on a pu améliorer, de façon continue, la quantité et la qualité des statistiques concernant le coton à l’échelle mondiale. Les organismes de coordination sont appelés fréquemment à fournir des renseignements, à l’occasion de demandes spécifiques que leur adresse le Comité. Leur coopération a permis des enquêtes mondiales sur divers sujets qui présentent importante pour les Etats membres. 5 COMITE CONSULTIVO INTERNACIONAL DEL ALGODON El Comité Consultivo Internacional del Algodón (CCIA) es una asociación de gobiernos que tienen interés en la producción, exportación, importación y consumo del algodón. Es una organización designada para promover la cooperación en asuntos algodoneros, en particular aquellos de alcance y significado internacional. Facilita a sus miembros una comprensión de la situación algodonera mundial y sirve de foro para consultas y deliberaciones a nivel internacional. La misión del CCIA es la de ayudar a los gobiernos a fomentar una economía algodonera próspera a través de información transparente sobre el mercado mundial, sirviendo como una cámara para recopilar y distribuir información técnica, aumentar el conocimiento de asuntos emergentes, proveer información relevante para la solución de problemas, y estimular la cooperación para lograr objetivos comunes. Proporcionando estadísticas objetivas, agrupando a los productores, consumidores y comerciantes, y a todos los demás segmentos de la industria algodonera, el CCIA juega un papel único como catalizador de cambios constructivos y como un centro de capacitación de investigadores a través del Programa de Investigadores Asociados que es ofrecido a los países miembros. El Comité mantiene una posición consultativa con las Naciones Unidas y sus agencias epecializadas y colabora estrechamente con otros organismos internacionales en asuntos de interés común. Las funciones del Comité Consultivo Internacional del Algodón se definen en el Reglamento, que está disponible en la Internet o a solicitud de los interesados. Estas incluyen: • Observar el desarrollo que afecte la situación algodonera mundial y mantenerse al corriente de la misma. • Reunir y diseminar estadísticas completas, auténticas y oportunas sobre la producción, comercio, consumo, existencias y precios mundiales del algodón. • Sugerir a los gobiernos representados, en la forma y oportunidad convenientes, cualesquiera medidas que el Comité Consultivo estime adecuadas y factibles para el progreso de la colaboración internacional con la debida atención a la manutención y desarrollo de una economía algodonera sana. • Ser el foro para deliberaciones internacionales en asuntos relacionados con los precios del algodón. El Comité se estableció como resultado de la Reunión Internacional del Algodón celebrada en Washington, DC en septiembre de 1939. En ese entonces, las existencias mundiales del algodón habían alcanzado casi 5,5 millones de toneladas, de las cuales más de la mitad se hallaban en los Estados Unidos. En septiembre de 1939 se reunieron en Washington DC, representantes de los diez países que se indican a continuación: Brasil, colonias británicas exportadoras de algodón, Egipto, colonias francesas exportadoras de algodón, India, México, Perú, Sudán, URSS y los Estados Unidos para deliberar acerca de los problemas de producción excesiva, existencias crecientes y precios en descenso. El objetivo primordial era tomar acción internacional concertada para evitar acontecimientos caóticos en la economía algodonera mundial. La siguiente resolución fue adoptada: “1. Establecer en Washington un Comité Permanente representando a los países participantes en la conferencia, incluyendo además representantes de países cultivadores y exportadores de algodón. Le corresponderán al Comité las siguientes funciones: “(a) Observar los acontecimientos que afecten la situación algodonera mundial y mantenerse al corriente de la misma. “(b) Sugerir a los gobiernos miembros del CCIA, en la forma y oportunidad convenientes, cualesquiera medidas que el CCIA estime adecuadas y factibles para el progreso de la colaboración internacional”. El CCIA se reunió por primera vez en Washington DC, en abril de 1940. Al principio el ingreso estaba limitado a países productores de algodón. Después de la cuarta reunión se extendió una invitación para que ingresaran al Comité “todas las Naciones Unidas o países asociados con interés sustancial en la producción, exportación o importación de algodón”. En la Quinta Reunión Plenaria del CCIA en mayo de 1946, se decidió establecer una Secretaría y un Comité Ejecutivo dirigente integrado por representantes de seis países productores y seis países consumidores: Argentina, Bélgica, Brasil, Canadá, China, Checoslovaquia, Egipto, Francia, India, Perú, el Reino Unido y los Estados Unidos. Se dio comienzo también al programa de información estadística y económica, el cual pasó a ser una parte intrínseca de la labor del Comité. Subsecuentemente, en 1948 se convino en reemplazar al Comité Ejecutivo original por un Comité Permanente en el cual todos los países estarían representados. El CCIA no juega ningún papel en el señalamiento de los precios y no interviene en los mecanismos del mercado. Sin embargo, la Secretaría proporciona información valiosa, actualizada y pertinente a todos los sectores de la industria algodonera por medio de evaluaciones de las condiciones del mercado y es la fuente más importante de datos sobre la industria algodonera mundial. La Secretaría pronostica la oferta, el uso y el precio del algodón, calcula el suministro de algodón extra-fino, y sigue el curso de las exportaciones de acuerdo al destino y a las importaciones por su orígen. La Secretaría mide y estima el consumo y la participación del algodón en la demanda de fibras en el mundo y por región, y es la cámara principal de donde proceden las estadísticas sobre este tema. El CCIA participa activamente en esfuerzos para crear un consenso internacional para la adopción de estándares de clasificación imparciales que reemplacen el sistema tradicional de grados y tipos, y 6 facilita esfuerzos que se realizan en países productores para desarrollar métodos para reducir la contaminación en el algodón. El CCIA organiza conferencias mundiales cada cuatro años y auspicia conferencias técnicas regionales por todo el mundo. La Sección de Información Técnica (TIS) produce publicaciones técnicas especiales y lleva a cabo investigaciones sobre costos y prácticas de producción, sobre el algodón orgánico y transgénico, y sobre la evolución de los análisis de la fibra para información de todos los sectores de la industria. MIEMBROS La invitación para ser miembro del CCIA se extiende a todos los miembros de la Naciones Unidas o de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación que expresen interés en el algodón. Cualquier otro país que exprese interés en el algodón puede presentar una solicitud de ingreso. El presupuesto anual del Comité correspondiente al año fiscal 2014/15 es de US$1,800.000 provenientes de las contribuciones financieras de los países miembros, suscripciones, y cuotas de inscripción en las reuniones. Cuarenta por ciento del total de las contribuciones resulta de una contribución básica igual para cada país miembro. El sesenta por ciento restante es una contribución prorrateada calculada sobre la base del comercio promedio del algodón durante las cuatro temporadas algodoneras más recientes. La contribución básica para el año 2013/14 es de US$18.165 y el monto adicional es de US$105 por cada 1.000 toneladas, calculado sobre la base promedio del comercio del algodón (importaciones más exportaciones). REUNIONES PLENARIAS Las reuniones plenarias del Comité Consultivo se celebran todos los años por invitación de un gobierno miembro, alternándose cuanto más posible entre países importadores y exportadores de algodón. El Comité Permanente prepara una agenda provisional y un programa para cada reunión plenaria. En la reunión, se facilita el intercambio de información sobre la situación algodonera en diferentes países y se delibera acerca de asuntos de política internacional. A partir de los años sesenta, las actividades de la Sección de Información Técnica han incluido la organización de un seminario técnico anual con ocasión de la reunión plenaria. La Secretaría del Comité prepara una publicación de las actas de cada reunión plenaria. Los idiomas oficiales del CCIA son el árabe, español, francés, inglés y ruso. En las reuniones plenarias se provee interpretación simultánea completa. EL COMITE PERMANENTE Un Comité Permanente, integrado por representantes de todos los países miembros da continuidad a las actividades del Comité Consultivo Internacional del Algodón entre reuniones plenarias. El Comité Permanente se reúne en Washington DC. Se presta atención a la actual situación algodonera mundial, los temas de política algodonera y también a las directivas de la reunión plenaria. LA SECRETARIA La Secretaría del Comité tiene su sede en Washington, DC y está compuesta por un personal internacional encabezado por el Director Ejecutivo, cuyo nombramiento y contrato de empleo está determinado por la reunión plenaria. Los siguientes individuos han servido como directores ejecutivos (Secretarios Ejecutivos). Sr. Rodney Whitaker, feb 1947-mar 1949 Sr. Robert Evans, abr 1949-feb 1963 Dr. J. C. Santley, mar 1963-dic 1986 Dr. Lawrence H. Shaw, ene 1987-dic 1998 Dr. Terry P. Townsend, ene 1999-dic 2013 Sr. José Sette, ene 2014La Secretaría presta apoyo al Comité llevando a cabo su programa de trabajo que consiste en suministrar y publicar estadísticas y análisis completos sobre la situación mundial del algodón; reunir y diseminar información científica sobre investigación de la producción algodonera; cooperar con otras organizaciones para promover una economía sana en el mundo algodonero; y facilitar las discusiones en materias relacionadas con los precios del algodón. AGENCIAS COORDINADORAS Las regulaciones del Comité determinan que cada gobierno miembro debe establecer “agencias nacionales permanentes de coordinación” para que suministren a la Secretaría todos los meses estadísticas sobre la situación algodonera y para que distribuyan en sus países publicaciones e informes recibidos de la Secretaría. En virtud de este arreglo de cooperación ha habido una mejora continua en la cantidad y calidad de las estadísticas disponibles sobre el algodón a nivel mundial. Se solicita con frecuencia a las agencias coordinadoras que suministren información por medio de cuestionarios especializados enviados por el Comité. La cooperación de las agencias ha hecho posible llevar a cabo encuestas mundiales sobre diferentes temas de importancia para los gobiernos miembros. 7 OVERVIEW OF THE WORLD COTTON MARKET IN 2013/14 Cotton is one of the most important and widely produced agricultural and industrial crops in the world. Cotton is grown in more than 70 countries on about 2% of the world’s arable land, making it one of the most significant in terms of land use after food grains and soybeans. Cotton is also a heavily traded agricultural commodity, with over 100 countries involved in exports or imports. More than 100 million family units are engaged directly in cotton production. When family labor, hired-on farm labor and workers in ancillary services such as transportation, ginning, baling and storage are considered, then involvement in the cotton sector reaches about 250 million people. Cotton also provides employment to additional millions in allied industries such as agricultural inputs, machinery and equipment, cottonseed crushing and textile manufacturing. Cotton cultivation contributes to food security and improved life expectancy in rural areas of developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Cotton played an important role in industrial development starting in the 17th century and continues to do so today as a major source of revenue. The world cotton industry experienced dramatic changes over the last six decades as production nearly quadrupled, rising from 7 million tons in 1950/51 to 28 million tons in 2011/12. The average annual rate of growth in world production over the last six decades has been almost 3% per year. World demand for cotton has also increased at an impressive pace, rising from 8 million tons in 1950 to a record 27 million tons in 2007/08. Until the economic recession of 2008/09, the world cotton industry experienced robust demand growth and rising yields. The global economic crisis of 2008/09 translated into a sharp drop in industrial cotton consumption and a fall in international cotton prices. A three-year decline in production combined with a strong rebound in mill use World Cotton Production & Mill Use Million tons 30 25 20 15 98/99 02/03 06/07 10/11 14/15 World Ending Stocks Million Tons Stock to Use Ratio 25 1.00 20 0.80 15 0.60 10 0.40 5 0.20 0 0.00 World-less China China S/U reduced global cotton stocks to a 15-year low at the end of 2009/10. However, in the following four seasons world cotton production exceeded world cotton consumption, and as a result, world cotton stocks have grown tremendously. Since 2010/11, world production will have exceeded consumption by a cumulative 11 million tons. In 2014/15, world cotton production is forecast to increase by 1% to 26 million tons, while cotton consumption, up by nearly 4%, is projected at 24 million tons. With the addition of 2 million tons in 2014/15, the cumulative surplus could reach more than 13 million tons by the end of 2014/15, which would be 54% of the projected world consumption. Much of the surplus is held by the Chinese government, but this season, more of it will shift to the private sector in China and other producing countries. Ending stocks outside China are set to reach nearly 9 million tons, increasing by 17% from 7.5 million tons in 2013/14. International cotton prices have declined in real terms over the last six decades because of advances in technology. During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the average world price of cotton in nominal terms was $0.70 per pound. The average international price during the 2000s was $0.60 per pound, in line with declining marginal costs of production for average producers. However, a significant tightening in stocks, combined with firm demand, pushed international cotton prices to much higher levels in 2009/10 and 2010/11. The Cotlook A Index averaged $0.78 per pound in 2009/10 and jumped to a record of $1.64 per pound in 2010/11. It then fell to $1.00 per pound in 2011/12 as a result of the rebound in global stocks and weaker demand, and receded further to $0.88 per pound in 2012/13. In 2013/14 though, world cotton stocks outside China decreased by 1% to 7.5 million tons and the Cotlook A Index rose to an average of $0.91 per pound. 8 SUMMARY OF ONGOING PROJECTS BETWEEN THE INTERNATIONAL COTTON ADVISORY COMMITTEE (ICAC) AND THE COMMON FUND FOR COMMODITIES (CFC) The ICAC serves as the International Commodity Body for Cotton and Cotton Textiles. Since the CFC became operational in the early 1990s, 24 cotton projects valued at over US$63 million have been supported. So far, the CFC has provided US$5.7 million in loan financing and CFC and EU (through CFC) over US$23 million in grant financing.
