World Cotton day Stories

For this year’s edition of World Cotton Day, we are thrilled to spotlight some of our African partners – from Mozambique, Mali and Egypt – through a series of videos.

We also hear from some of Better Cotton’s staff members from around the world speaking about sustainable farming practices and what they wish people would know about when buying cotton.
