1 Challenges and Issues in the African Cotton Sector 1
2 COTTON IN AFRICA 2
3 THE IMPORTANCE OF COTTON IN AFRICA A vital cash crop for millions of Africans (about 3.5 million cotton farms in 35 countries out of 54). Engine of rural and agro-industrial development : ginning factories in cotton areas; - Oil mills and textile mills. Proven contribution to poverty alleviation and food security. Major source of export revenues: -3 rd agricultural commodity after cocoa and coffee; - > 25% of total exports in several countries. 3
4 OVERVIEW OF THE COTTON ISECTOR IN AFRICA 4.5 million ha in 2013/14 (14% of world cotton area) 93% rainfed (Gossypium hirsutum) Smallholder farms; labor intensive; low input use 100% handpicked; mostly saw-ginned 1.5 million tons lint (6% of world production) 1.3 million tons exported (15% of world total) 320,000 tons spun locally (1.4% of global mill use) 4

14 CONSTRAINTS AND RISKS 14
15 MAJOR CONSTRAINTS - Weather hazards (rainfed cultivation) & climate change - Uneducated farmers lacking equipment - Low use and high costs of inputs - Landlocked cotton areas - Poor infrastructures (transport & energy) - Price taker, export dependent - Weak integration of the cotton value chain - Local processing uncompetitive - Lack of technical expertise & market knowledge - Governance & regulation issues; political instability - Unfair competition (fraudulent imports, subsidies) - Negative reputation and perception in the market 15
16 AFRICAN COTTON IS HIGHLY EXPOSED TO RISKS. African cotton farmers, among the poorest in the world, are ill-prepared to deal with the various risks facing them (weather risk, price volatility, etc).. Most cotton farmers have no cash to buy the inputs required for successfully growing cotton.. Price volatility affects all stakeholders in the cotton sector: farmers, ginners/cotton companies, merchants, spinners, banks, States.. African cotton farmers are much less supported by their governments than their counterparts in the 4 largest producing countries (China, India, USA, Pakistan), and even less in ESA than in the franc zone. 16

26 PRODUCTIVITY IS KEY FOR IMPROVING INCOMES FROM COTTON. The price is just one component of cotton farmers incomes.. Low productivity translates into low revenues for farmers and ginners.. Cotton farmers are price takers but they have an influence on yields.. An African cotton farmer who produces less than one ton of seed cotton per hectare has a bleak future. 26
27 THE GINNING OUTTURN IMPACTS PRODUCER PRICES 30% 32% 34% 36% 38% 40% 42% 44% Franc Zone Zimbabwe Zambia Mozambique Malawi Uganda Tanzania Kenya A lower ginning outturn translates into a lower producer price: All other things being equal, the price that can be paid to producers is 20% higher with a ginning outturn of 42% than with a 35%-GOT. 27
28 TOPIC 1 SUSTAINABILITY, INNOVATIONS AND INDEX-BASED INSURANCE: CHALLENGES FOR AFRICAN COTTON FARMS 28
29 THE ISSUE OF QUALITY 29
30 INTERNATIONAL COTTON MARKET World imports: about 7.5 million tons in (China 20%) 97% «upland» cottons (Gossypium hirsutum) 3/4 medium and long staple length: ring spinning 1/4 short staple length: rotor spinning (open end) 3% extra-long staple cottons (Gossypium barbadense), roller ginned: very fine yarns 30
31 COMPETITORS OF AFRICAN COTTONS - Man-made fibers (No. 1: polyester) - Machine-picked cottons (50% of exports) - Cottons from large farms under irrigation - Cottons from other hand-picked origins (India) - Cottons from other African countries - Cottons from the same origin sold by others 31
32 THE ISSUE OF AFRICAN COTTON QUALITY The price of cotton lint depends on: - lint characteristics ("fiber") ; - contamination by foreign matters, real or perceived ("only fiber") ; - the way cotton is classed, baled & shipped ("more than just fiber") ; - the reputation of the origin and the seller (sanctity of contracts). The price of African cotton is discounted vs other origins, because of the perception of the risk of contamination associated with manual picking. 32

34 THE CHALLENGE OF CONTAMINATION. Contamination of lint by foreign matters (not from the cotton plant) is the most serious problem facing spinners of cotton (vs contamination-free polyester).. Non-cotton fibers (primarily polypropylene) can lead to downgrading, or even outright rejection, of yarns, fabrics or clothes.. Manual picking is perceived as the main cause of contamination.. The level of risk, real or perceived, of contamination translates into significant price differentials.. In fact, the reputation of African cotton is more contaminated than the cotton itself. 34

43 CONSUMPTION OF TEXTILE FIBERS IN AFRICA End-use of textile fibers (est. from ICAC data): 2.5 kg/capita/year; cotton share: 40% Population (2015): 1.2 billion End-use of cotton fiber: About 1.2 million tons Cotton mill use: 320,000 tons of lint (2% of production in 2013/14) 43
44 TOPIC 3 - PROCESSING DEVELOPING THE COTTON- TEXTILE IN AFRICA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES 44
45 STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR AFRICAN COTTON - Very low carbon print. - Lower costs of production in Africa (vs China, USA, Brazil). - Production should trend lower in several countries, notably in the USA. - Wide margin for improvement both in terms of productivity and quality. - Large reserves of uncultivated arable land. - World average yield expected to level off. - Superior characteristics of lint ginned from hand-picked seed cotton. - Potential markets for lint in Africa (Egypt, Ethiopia). - Wide scope for value addition. - Stronger US dollar benefiting exporters. 45
46 CONCLUSIONS: REASONS FOR HOPE 46
47 HOW TO IMPROVE THE COMPETITIVENESS OF AFRICAN COTTON - Increase productivity - Insure against weather risks - Reduce producer costs - Optimize export logistics - Build capacity of producers and ginners - Improve quality - Minimize contamination - Adopt instrument testing - Increase transparency and traceability - Build consensus among stakeholders - Regulate the cotton sector - Change spinners negative perception - Protect the domestic textile industry 47

49 SUCCESS STORIES TO EMULATE In Africa: - Cameroon had the highest average yield for rainfed cotton in Africa (514 kg lint/ha over more than 200,000 ha) and paid a high producer price in 2013/14. - Quality approach in Senegal. - Optimization of export logistics in Mali. Africa should draw lessons from the very rapid emergence of India, a customer turned into a competitor. 49
