African Producers Press Rich Nations on Cotton Subsidies

The trade ministers of the so-called Cotton-4 or C4 countries – Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali – spoke at a Tuesday meeting at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, as well as a press meeting on Wednesday at the National Press Club.

Speaking on behalf of the C4 countries at Wednesday's press conference was Mamadou Sanou, director of the C4 countries and minister of trade, entrepreneurship, and handicraft of Burkina Faso.

U.S. and EU cotton subsidies have a very negative impact on the cotton sector in Africa,said Sanou, speaking through an interpreter. We came to Washington with lots of hope. The cotton sector in Africa really needs our attention today.
