Cotton made in Africa (CmiA)

Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) is an Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) initiative that works to improve social, economic and environmental conditions for cotton growing, enhancing the livelihoods of African cotton farmers and to work for more sustainable cotton production in African countries. The CmiA sustainability claim focuses on the supply and value chain in the participating African countries, i.e. the growing and ginning of cotton. CmiA’s approach focuses on activating market forces instead of aid.
