The Better Cotton Initiative launches in Egypt
After many years’ of engagement and preparation, the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a global not-for-profit organisation, together with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), has announced the launch of a BCI Programme in Egypt.
The participating farmers will receive training on the Better Cotton Principles and Criteria. By adhering to these principles, farmers produce cotton in a way that is measurably better for the environment and farming communities.
The organisation further stated that there is a high level of multi-stakeholder engagement in Egypt from government agencies, civil society organisations, trade associations, farmer associations and commercial actors within the supply chain, which will allow the BCI Programme to be implemented in a robust way.
“BCI supports all initiatives that seek to make cotton production more sustainable. Egyptian cotton, known for its superior fibre quality, is long staple cotton grown by smallholder farmers. Making the Better Cotton Standard System accessible to smallholder farmers is BCI’s priority – 99 per cent of the farmers BCI works with today are smallholders,” Alia Malik, director of implementation at BCI, said in a press release.
