No 55990, Food Security Collaborative Working Papers from Michigan State University, Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics

Abstract: This paper involves the country's macro-economic situation and the question of using cotton's as one of the main sources of foreign exchange credits. With its potential for export earnings, the promotion of cotton still maintains high priority at the national level. The second issue highlights the appropriate place of cotton in a national strategy for agricultural development. A third major issue focuses on the role of cotton companies in promoting and organizing cotton production in the smallholder sector.
