Programme

Conferences Topics Since the theme of the Conference was “Growing Together” with an objective of involving all stake holders in the Cotton Value Chain, topics had to be chosen with great care. Since this Conference was held for only one day, and the Organising Committee had desired to encompass as maximum topics to cover all segments of the cotton value chain, it was very necessary to choose topics which would be of interest to all attendees.
