In Benin und Burkina Faso beispielsweise machen die Einnahmen aus dem Baumwollexport 75 Prozent der landwirtschaftlichen Exporterlöse aus.
20 Millionen Menschen sind in Subsahara-Afrika vom Baumwollanbau abhängig, die meisten von ihnen leben in Kleinbauernfamilien.
Sinkende Weltmarktpreise und massive Subventionen in Europa und den USA an die eigenen Baumwollerzeuger haben dazu geführt, dass die afrikanischen Produzenten vom Baumwollanbau allein nicht mehr leben können.

Twenty million people in sub-Saharan Africa, most of them families running small farms, depend on cotton cultivation for their livelihood.
Falling prices on the world market and massive agricultural subsidising by Europe and the United States of their own cotton growers have led to a situation in which African producers can no longer survive on cotton cultivation alone.
