Africa’s opportunity to turn cotton fibre into fashion
African countries are being urged to process their own cotton into garments rather than exporting raw fibre. The argument is that moving up the textile value chain could create jobs, keep more manufacturing profit on the continent and build domestic fashion industries. Supporters see value-added production as a major opportunity for African economies.
Why now: Renewed debate about industrialisation and capturing more value from Africa's raw commodity exports.
