In 1997, the Senegalese Yakaar Niani Wulli (YNW) federation launched its own organic and fair trade cotton to respond to the problems encountered in the cultivation and commercialisation of cotton. For a long time this “white gold" was exported as a raw material, with little added value for the producers.
The federation thus mobilized a large partner network (producers, weavers, dyers, tailors, etc.) throughout the country in order to engage in the processing of the cotton and capture a higher added value. This value chain is now fully operational. A project financed by the TDC aims at commercialising YNW’s finished products on international markets.
