The ICA is the world's leading international cotton trade association and arbitral body. The ICA was formed over 175 years ago in 1841 in Liverpool, UK, when a group of cotton brokers created a set of bylaws and rules to help regulate the sale and purchase of raw cotton.
About 90 per cent of world's cotton is traded internationally under ICA Bylaws & Rules. The ICA now has more than 550 members and its membership spans all corners of the globe and represents all sectors of the supply chain.
The ICA operates on a not-for-profit basis and, in addition to its Bylaws &Rules; it offers a range of services - arbitration, training, trade and networking events, plus cotton testing and research via ICA Bremen.
