ty for many African countries and is a major source of foreign exchange earnings. Its production, exportation, and international trade have a significant impact on the economies of many African countries, as well as on the global cotton market. In light of its economic and social importance, it is essential to study the factors that influence cotton production, exportation, and international trade in Africa, as well as the challenges that cotton producers face in these processes. Understanding these factors and challenges can help policymakers develop strategies to promote sustainable cotton production and trade in Africa.
The study also concludes that cotton production in Africa has been characterized by low productivity and efficiency. Despite being one of the most important cash crops on the continent, cotton production levels have remained relatively stagnant in recent years. African cotton farmers face numerous challenges that contribute to low productivity, including poor infrastructure, inadequate access to credit, and limited access to markets. Additionally, many African cotton producers lack the necessary knowledge and skills to implement modern farming practices that could improve their yields.
