Cotton is a vital cash crop for many African LDCs, as it provides income for an estimated 4 million farmers and their families, where 17 per cent of those farmers are women. Sub-Saharan African countries export more than 90 per cent of the raw cotton lint they produce; these countries earned approximately US$ 15.5 billion in 2018 for over 1.5 million metric tonnes of lint.
