WASHINGTON DC - The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) says the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the global cotton supply chain to a virtual standstill with billions of dollars in orders scrapped.
Spinners and other textile workers are facing financial crisis amidst “an unprecedented amount of upheaval and uncertainty”, the international commodity body warned in a statement.
“Textile workers, among the most vulnerable people in the entire supply chain, are becoming desperate,” the group said in a new report.
