BMR Series: Best Markets for US Cotton 2003-2004 |
|
| Best Export Markets for U.S Cotton was compiled by Erika Martinez and edited by Quoc Thai at the El Camino College Center for International Trade Development (CITD), under the supervision of CITD Director Maurice Kogon. The report is based largely on 2003/2004 Country Commercial Guides (CCGs) prepared by U.S Agricultural Attaches and staff stationed in the reporting countries. All CCGs include a standard chapter “Leading Sectors for U.S. Exports.” This report drew from those CCGs which specifically recommended Cotton as a best prospect for U.S exports, based on near-term growth potential or large market receptivity to additional U.S. suppliers. |
