SwedenWorld Cotton Day: Valuing Africa's Cotton Beyond Raw Output
On World Cotton Day, there's a call to measure the real value of Africa's cotton by focusing on manufacturing, employment, and African-owned value created after harvest, not just raw output.
Background
Many African nations are major cotton producers, but historically, much of the raw cotton is exported for processing elsewhere. This has led to discussions about how to increase local value addition and economic benefits within African countries from their cotton industry.
