Gov't moves to revive cotton production in Northern Region to feed textile industry

The ceremony linked the successful flowering of the cotton crop to the commissioning of the apparel factory, highlighting the broader vision of building an integrated value chain in which cotton cultivated in the Northern Region can ultimately provide raw materials for textile and garment production in Ghana.

Government is stepping up efforts to revive large-scale cotton production in the Northern Region as part of measures to secure reliable local raw materials for Ghana’s textile and garment industry.

It forms part of the Northern Cotton Revival Initiative, which seeks to establish a multi-district cotton production belt in the Northern Region and strengthen the link between cotton farmers and Ghana’s textile and garment manufacturing industry.
