BTcm/CmiA/Organic Cotton

BTcm

Bt cotton is a genetically modified variety of cotton that has been engineered to produce a toxin called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is toxic to certain insect pests. This reduces the need for insecticide sprays and can increase crop yields.

CmiA

Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) is a certification scheme that aims to improve the livelihoods of smallholder cotton farmers in Africa by promoting sustainable cotton production and fair working conditions.

Organic Cotton

Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and is often certified by independent organizations to ensure that it meets certain standards for sustainability and social responsibility. Organic cotton farming is often considered more environmentally friendly and can provide economic benefits to farmers who sell their cotton at premium prices.
