Abstract: This Policy Brief summarizes evidence reported in a recent study on the links between seed cotton market structures and selected cotton sector performance indicators in nine African countries (Tschirley et al. 2008). The purpose of the study is to contribute to better design and implementation of cotton sector reforms by building a reliable, broad assessment of cotton sector performance from detailed empirical information collected and analyzed by independent researchers and cotton sector experts.
