This Travel Bursary helped me to attend the 2008 International Cotton Institute Course in Memphis, TN,

USA.

Features of course:

• Network with participants from around the world as well as cotton industry leaders.

• Provide background in all facets of the industry from growing, ginning, marketing,

shipping, milling and spinning including visits to USDA gin research labs and Cotton

Incorporated’s milling and spinning research facilities.

• Learning how to manually class cotton.
