GENEVA - The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) has expanded its programme into Egypt with support from the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).
Around 2,000 smallholder cotton farmers in Egypt will receive training and support on growing cotton more sustainably while improving their livelihoods under the initiative.
The BCI says the development follows "many years' engagement and preparation", a successful pilot project in 2019, and completion of the necessary new country start-up process.
