Western China Update: BCI has suspended its assurance activities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of Western China effective starting the current cotton season (2020-21) based on the recognition that the operating environment prevents credible assurance and licensing from being executed. BCI assurance activities for the last season finished in September. There will be no licensed Better Cotton from XUAR effective starting this season (2020-21).
