关键信息

Cotton is an important means of livelihood for millions of smallholders, workers and their families, providing employment and income.

The sector needs to transform to achieve greater efficiency, inclusiveness, resilience, and sustainability-through science and innovation, research, digitalization, better governance, and targeted investments.

Cotton exports represent an important source of foreign exchange earnings for a number of low-income countries, helping to cover their food import bills.

Value addition-including local manufacturing and by-product development-can help unlock cotton’s economic potential by boosting job creation and increasing returns.

Cotton demand has declined over the past decades while synthetic fibres have seen substantial growth due to their lower cost of production and versatility.

Quality, transparency, traceability and sustainability are becoming increasingly important drivers of competitiveness in the cotton sector, creating new opportunities for product differentiation, market access and investment.

Weather shocks, supply chain disruptions, rising competition from synthetics, shifting regulatory frameworks, and frequent changes in consumer preferences are among the key challenges that cotton faces—and must be addressed—if the sector is to realize its full potential.

A rules-based, non-discriminatory, open, fair, inclusive, predictable, and transparent international cotton trading system is key to providing a livelihood to hundreds of millions of vulnerable people around the globe.

The cotton sector, at all levels of the value chain, represents a way to address wider development concerns by promoting sustainable livelihoods, empowering women, boosting youth employment, and ensuring decent work for all.

The cotton sector also needs greater coordination across the value chain to boost efficiency, transparency, and value, including developing by-products.
