About the International Cotton Association

The International Cotton Association is the world’s foremost international cotton association. In spite of the demise of the British cotton textile industry, the volume of trading under ICA Rules has risen very significantly during the last decade. The majority of contracts for international trade are agreed subject to ICA Rules, and in the event of a dispute concerning quality or performance, are subject to ICA dispute resolution procedures. The International Cotton Association now provides a worldwide service for the international sale, purchase and movement of raw cotton between producers, traders and consumers.
