The Multifiber Arrangement (MFA) governed
world trade in textiles for decades. The MFA's effective
conclusion in 2005 was the catalyst for a reshaping of
world textile and fiber markets that will continue for
years to come. This conference will review the impact
of textile trade liberalization along the textile supply
chain and discuss how these changes have affected textile
exporters, textile importers, and the U.S. textile industry
and communities. The implications for policy as well
as for world cotton markets will be explored, including
those in China, India, and the United States.
The Farm Foundation has posted the conference presentations on their website.
