Under the motto "Cotton for well-being" today, October 7th, is World Cotton Day. This date was established globally in 2019 to highlight the importance of cotton as the world's most important natural fiber, its multiple uses in industry and its socio-economic contribution to improving the quality of life of producers and all those involved in the value chain.
To celebrate this date in 2022, the IAOM, IP, promoted lectures and moments of interaction with university students of agronomy and agricultural sciences, as well as high school graduates from the provinces of Niassa, Nampula, Sofala, Manica and Maputo City, throughout the cotton week, taking into account the high potential that this target group has for the development of the agricultural sector and this value chain in particular.
These interaction sessions made it possible to share and gather information on the sector's potential, opportunities, challenges and prospects, as well as to stimulate reflection with a view to making the cotton value chain increasingly prosperous and sustainable.
