South African Organic Cotton Field Day

The purpose of the pilot project on organic cotton farming in South Africa is to facilitate the development of commercial scale organic cotton farming in South Africa by 2010. A number of organic cotton growing trial sites have been established on both commercial and small-scale farms to assess the viability of commercially producing organic cotton in South Africa, create a learning experience for all partners involved in the project on how to grow organic cotton in a viable and sustainable way and establish a value chain for the production, marketing and retailing or organic cotton in South Africa.
