The Organic & Fairtrade Cotton Coalition (CCBE)

The Cotton Coalition is a concerted effort to promote organic cotton systems and improve farmer skills in organic and Fairtrade cotton in West Africa. The coalition is sustained by the cotton producer organizations from Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso, and Senegal including AProCA and works closely with the national cotton societies while being supported by the Swiss based organizations ecos and FiBL and their cotton partners from the international organic and Fairtrade movement.

VISION

We are a self-sufficient, multi-stakeholder initiative. Our aim is to be of benefit to the cotton producers in terms of income through organic cotton farming and processing. We want to contribute to reach a market share of 5% in the involved West African countries.
