The National Cotton Council of America serves as the central organization for the U.S. cotton industry, ensuring the competitiveness and profitability of all industry segments in the raw cotton, oilseeds, and U.S.-manufactured products markets domestically and internationally. It acts as a forum for consensus-building among various industry stakeholders including producers, ginners, warehousers, merchants, cottonseed processors/dealers, cooperatives, and textile manufacturers. The Council's mission is to advocate for the interests of the cotton industry by working with the government and developing democratically-driven policies through program committees and a board of directors. Additionally, it provides educational resources, reports, and information on various aspects of cotton production, economics, government programs, and sustainability.
