Partners strengthen resolve to promote sustainable cotton in Africa

11/05/2016
The Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) and the African Cotton and Textiles Industries Federation (ACTIF) have announced that they will strengthen a partnership they began in 2013 to promote the sustainable cotton and textile industry in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The two organisations have set themselves the goal to increase productivity, competitiveness and sustainability of cotton production and to strengthen the textile production in Africa together.

“The Aid by Trade Foundation and its [Hamburg-based] Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) initiative is the most important programme for sustainable cotton production in Africa,” said Jaswinder Bedi, chairman of ACTIF. “With the sustainable and certified CmiA cotton we can lay a reliable foundation for our business which aims to build up an integrated textile value chain on the African continent.”
