Cotton, while being a comfortable, hypoallergenic, breathable, and durable fabric, has a global significance beyond just being a commodity. It provides livelihoods to 32 million growers, nearly half of whom are women, and benefits over 100 million families across 80 countries on five continents. Each piece of cotton clothing represents a personal story tracing back through its trade chain.

The United Nations recognizes these aspects of the cotton industry on World Cotton Day, celebrated annually on October 7th. This day was initiated in 2019 by the Cotton Four - Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, and Mali, four cotton-producing countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
