Abstract

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food for Progress Project, OGSM: FCC-686-2013/027-00 or Revenue through Cotton Livelihoods, Trade, and Equity (RECOLTE), aims to increase organic cotton production and trade in agricultural products at the local, regional and international levels. The $12 million project aims to reach 10,000 producers in the eight production areas in 16 provinces of Burkina Faso. It is implemented by CRS in partnership with the National Union of Cotton Producers of Burkina Faso (UNPCB) and Texas A&M - AgriLife Research. RECOLTE also works in collaboration with the Institute for Environmental and Agricultural Research (INERA), as well as with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Handicrafts. The project worked closely with the office of the President of Faso, which led to the organization of the first edition of the International Cotton and Textile Exhibition (SICOT) in Koudougou.
