Toward more sustainable and efficient support of the cotton value chain in Burkina Faso
Year: 2013

Although fixed prices, which are indexed to international cotton prices, ensure minimum prices to producers, the sustainability of this system is questionable due to its high cost and the large amount of international aid that it requires.
