INDA Calls On White House To Permanently Exclude USMCA Products From Canada, Mexico Tariffs

CARY, N.C. — March 24, 2025 — INDA, the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry issued the following statement on executive orders imposing significant tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico:

Last month, President Trump instituted significant tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico. While products that fall under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) have been excluded from these new tariffs to date, it has been reported that these exclusions may end in early April.

The nonwovens industry contributes to nearly $100 billion in economic output through sales to end users in North America. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, thanks to the USMCA: “one-third of critical U.S. manufacturing inputs now come from Canada or Mexico, rather than from competitors that often engage in unfair trade practices.”

At a time when manufacturers are facing cost pressures from many angles, it is imperative that American manufacturers remain competitive globally and have long-term clarity on import costs. As such, we urge President Trump to make the tariff exemption for USMCA products permanent and are ready and willing to work with the White House to promote a balanced trade policy.

Better Cotton Project To Break Down Healthcare Barriers For Farmers In Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa

CÔTE D’IVOIRE, West Africa — March 24, 2025 — Better Cotton, the world’s largest cotton sustainability initiative, has launched a two-year pilot project in Côte d’Ivoire to boost cotton farming communities’ access to essential, quality healthcare services and create a replicable model for marginalised groups around the world.

The pilot project will build an accessible, community-tailored health programme for an initial 8,000 people. In Côte d’Ivoire, 46 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, and the country has some of the lowest health metrics in West Africa.

Maria Kjaer, Smallholder Livelihoods manager at Better Cotton, said: “Farmer health and well-being are essential to supporting sustainable agriculture. We have the opportunity to remove healthcare barriers for farming communities to create a real, positive impact. I’m confident that with the support of a very committed network of partners, we can drive change in Côte d’Ivoire and beyond.”

Better Cotton has teamed up with its Programme Partner in Côte d’Ivoire, SECO — a subsidiary of Olam Agri — and Elucid, a social enterprise, to create a unique ecosystem that fosters both health outcomes and cost savings.

The two-year project will introduce Elucid’s digital healthcare platform to some of the country’s farming regions to enrol cotton farmers and connect them with local accredited healthcare providers. Elucid’s platform will ensure secure payments and enable user feedback, providing local healthcare services with a tool that can help them improve their plans.

Samuel Knauss, managing director and co-founder of Elucid, said: “With this project, we are bringing our healthcare model to cotton farmers by strengthening the capacity of agricultural producer organizations. This will ensure that farmers can access essential and emergency care without financial hardship. Building on our success in the cocoa and coffee sectors, we aim to show that investing in healthcare not only improves farmer well-being but also strengthens cotton supply chains and creates lasting impact for communities.”

Jean-François Touré, vice president & managing director of SECO, added: “At SECO, we are committed to improving the well-being of cotton farmers by pioneering a tailored health insurance model for the sector. This initiative is a crucial step in ensuring they have access to essential healthcare. This project shall serve as a reference for the industry, particularly as Côte d’Ivoire advances the implementation of its Universal Health Coverage programme. Through this partnership with Better Cotton and Elucid, we aim to create a lasting, scalable impact for farming communities.”

Better Cotton and its project partners will engage agricultural producer organizations (APOs) to promote local ownership of the platform, streamline uptake among communities, track its use, and ensure it addresses relevant challenges.

Successful implementation will increase the number of farmer households under social protection, remove barriers to healthcare and unlock opportunities for sustained investment in the service beyond the project’s end date.

By creating a working model for health programs in the cotton sector, Better Cotton can not only contribute valuable learnings to other commodities and regions, promoting more sustainable agricultural practices across sectors, but also present valuable data on the correlation between health outcomes and farmer incomes.

BASF Hosts Cotton Farmers At Educational Agronomic Performance Trial Summits

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — March 13, 2025 — BASF hosted 74 cotton farmers and their families across five meetings in December, January and February to share the results from over 200 Agronomic Performance Trials (APT). The farmers in attendance participated in the trials and helped plant, grow and harvest BASF test plots for cotton seed. These trials help BASF determine which varieties of FiberMax® and Stoneville® cotton seed to advance for limited release the following year1.

“Feedback from farmers is at the center of BASF innovation and the Agronomic Performance Trial program is integral to our cotton seed portfolio and allowing us to help farmers do the Biggest Job on Earth,” said Kenny Melton, Western Region Agronomic Services manager for BASF. “Since 2006, APT farmers have been a cornerstone of advancing new varieties and we are extremely grateful for their partnership and contributions.”

The Agronomic Performance Trial Summits were held in Texas — San Antonio, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Amarillo — and Charleston, S.C. Farmers in attendance were shown trial data from all test plots, new information regarding the advanced varieties and updated information on chemicals. The APT program helped introduce six new varieties of FiberMax and Stoneville cotton for the 2025 growing season1.

“Getting to see the new varieties on our farm under our conditions has been a benefit to our operation,” said Billie Fuston, a cotton farmer from Turkey, Texas. “Seeing the new technology and how it performs on different soils, plus the opportunity to attend the summit and compare notes with other producers in different areas is a big benefit as well.”

The variety trials allow BASF to evaluate performance under real world grower conditions, with larger plots and varied production management programs, as well as in broader geographies with more locations. In 2024, APT were planted in 210 locations, leading to six new varieties being added to the BASF cotton seed portfolio for the 2025 growing season.

1Availability of cottonseed containing the Axant™ Flex technology for the 2025 growing season and beyond is subject to many factors, and such seed may not be available in all cotton-growing areas. Commercial sales of cottonseed containing the Axant Flex technology will be subject to contractual terms and conditions and stewardship obligations, which may include among other requirements or restrictions on where the crop resulting from such seed may be sold, transferred and/or exported. BASF does not guarantee any publicized results and each grower is solely responsible for farming management practices and decisions, including, without limitation, selecting seed best suitable for the intended growth and use under grower’s local conditions.

Cellulose Fibres Conference 2025: Celebrating Innovation And Dynamic Development In The Sustainable Fibers Market

HÜRTH, Germany — March 24, 2025 — The Cellulose Fibres Conference 2025 (CFC 2025), held March 12-13 in Cologne, Germany, successfully brought together industry leaders, innovators and researchers to explore the latest innovations and new technologies for fibers — in textiles, hygiene products and packaging. The conference has established itself as the leading international platform for the emerging cellulose fibre industry.

Two days with high quality program and outstanding speakers highlighted the growing importance of addressing environmental concerns within the textile industry.

The main source for the production of staple fibers or filaments such as viscose, lyocell, modal or other types of new cellulose fibers is wood-based chemical pulp. At the same time, new sources such as agricultural wastes and fibers, paper grade pulp and recycled textiles are emerging on a global scale, with a variety of new sources and companies contributing new technologies, processing methods and ideas.

Biosynthetics, featured for the first time at the conference, drew significant attention. Experts discussed the challenges and opportunities of cellulose fibers and biosynthetics, with particular focus on scalability, biodegradability, and performance comparisons to conventional synthetic fibers from fossil origin.

Dynamic Engagement and Scientific Discourse

The CFC 2025 fostered vibrant discussions among attendees, with a strong emphasis on scientific advancements and sustainable practices. Participants actively engaged in sessions covering topics such as circular economy strategies fiber-to-fiber recycling from textile, marine biodegradability versus fiber microplastic formation, alternative feedstocks, and innovative technologies for pulp, fibers, biosynthetics, and yarns.

Rahul Bansal, Vice President & Head of the Global Nonwoven Business at Birla Cellulose (IN), emphasises the significance of the event: “The Cellulose Fibres Conference (CFC) has provided a unique and focused platform to the entire value chain of cellulosic fibers for knowledge sharing and making business connections. With global shift towards plastic free products, cellulose based fibers and allied industries are witnessing influx of investment in process development and innovation to improve sustainability of the products. I am confident that the conference will become even more important in future with the growing proportion of cellulose fibers in the textile industry.“

Andreas Engelhardt, The Fiber Year (CH), reported strong investment in new cellulose fiber production plants, with around 200,000 tonnes of additional capacity per year worldwide. Marina Crnoja-Cosic, Textile ETP (BE) confirmed this trend, with annual capacity growth of 17 percent between 2024 and 2029 and investments almost exclusively in Lyocell production. Simone Seisl, CR Consultant (DE), said that Lyocell is mainly replacing old viscose production and cotton, as cotton production is stagnating or even declining, partly due to climate change — and that the overall demand for textile fibers is increasing.

In order to support the development, innovation and market entry of cellulosic fibres, Dieter Eichinger, CIRFS (BE), presented a proposal for a new standard that includes all types of cellulosic fibers such as viscose, lyocell, Tencel, Modal, Cupra and new innovative fibers under the generic term “cellulose fibers.” The proposal was widely supported by the participants. Anna Palmberg, IKEA (SE), also expressed a concrete interest in using more cellulose fibers in the future.

The event witnessed heightened activity on social media platforms, with delegates sharing insights, experiences, and key takeaways using the hashtag #CFC2025. This digital engagement extended the conference’s reach, allowing a broader audience to participate in the discourse on sustainable textiles.

National Retail Federation: Retailers Submit Comments In Opposition To USTR Shipping Remedies Proposal

WASHINGTON — March 24, 2025 — The National Retail Federation  (NRF) and the Retail Industry Leaders Association submitted joint comments today regarding proposed action in the Section 301 investigation of China’s targeting of the maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors for dominance.

Together, the two organizations, along with more than 30 other organizations representing a variety of industry sectors, commissioned a study by Trade Partnership Worldwide LLC to examine the potential ramifications of the actions USTR has proposed. The study found that the proposed actions would have far-reaching negative effects on the prices of imports and exports.

“Imports and exports decline as a result of the higher costs of the fees, and/or the mandate to use more expensive U.S.-built, U.S.-owned and U.S.-operated ships. While the potential negative impacts on U.S. agriculture are ‘headline-grabbing,’ those negative impacts extend as well to other sectors of the American economy, including retail. As higher costs filter through the economy, the wholesale and retail trade sectors, from stores to restaurants, see declines in sales and employment,” the study concluded.

In a joint submission to USTR, the two organizations wrote: “As a result, U.S. businesses and consumers will take the brunt of these service charges and be forced to bear increased costs for a wide array of commodities with little to no alternatives as many, if not all, of the leading ocean carriers capable of meeting U.S. shipping needs use Chinese-built vessels in their fleets.”

The joint letter outlined the concerns of retailers about the port service fee being passed along to cargo owners at a significant cost. The concerns also include carriers changing their rotations to avoid the fees by cutting out smaller ports and overwhelming larger ports, causing congestion and other supply chain challenges.

One retailer described the possible ramifications: “We are concerned that the trifecta of China and reciprocal tariffs; the new aluminum/steel derivative tariffs; and the China-ship fee will put extraordinary pressure on U.S. retailers. (One notable example would be cast aluminum outdoor furniture.) In some sectors that are already struggling under the current economic and housing market conditions, such as furniture and home improvements, the proposed fees could nearly double the cost to import these items.”

“We encourage the administration to continue to investigate the barriers and limitations on U.S. shipbuilding and to seek other means to help revitalize the industry, without burdening those who rely upon it,” said David French, NRF’s executive vice president of government relations.

“The goal of revitalizing the American shipbuilding industry is laudable, however, these new fees will have ripple effects across the U.S. economy. If enacted, these policies will disrupt the flow of commerce, add regulatory burdens and increase costs on American manufacturers and consumers. RILA looks forward to collaborating with the administration on ways to revitalize the U.S. shipping industry while minimizing disruptions to competitiveness, businesses and consumers,” said Michael Hanson, RILA’s senior executive vice president, public affairs.
