Better Cotton, the world's leading cotton sustainability initiative, is launching a new program in Côte d'Ivoire, with a commitment to assist 200,000 local cotton farmers within its initial five years.
The initiative, in collaboration with the Professional Association of Cotton Companies of Côte d'Ivoire (APROCOT-CI), focuses on providing training and resources to enhance the sustainability of cotton farming practices. APROCOT-CI, representing cotton companies nationwide, will act as the Strategic Partner, overseeing efforts to improve climate resilience and economic prospects for farming communities.
Six member organizations of APROCOT-CI will serve as Better Cotton Programme Partners, contributing expertise and resources for social and environmental advancements.
The initiative seeks to integrate sustainable farming practices, reduce environmental impact, and enhance economic outcomes for smallholder cotton farmers in the region.
