In 2010 the National Cotton Council (NCC) initiated a study of the actions necessary to improve and reduce costs associated with the flow of U.S. cotton from cotton bale formation to the textile end user. The study included an analysis of the U.S. cotton industry’s warehousing infrastructure, information sharing capabilities, modes of transportation and logistics. Several of the consultant's, Wilbur Smith Associates, recommendations may become NCC policy in 2011.
