Benin reshapes cotton industry with Chinese infrastructure and processing aid

Benin is undergoing a significant transformation of its cotton industry, bolstered by Chinese assistance and infrastructure development. A new 184km road project is set to improve transportation from northern cotton-growing regions to processing facilities near Cotonou. These facilities, part of the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone, are crucial for the government's strategy to move beyond raw cotton exports and are already producing finished clothing for international brands.
