非洲盛产棉花，但却很少将其加工成服装。一项耗资50亿美元的新计划旨在改变这一现状，将零散的棉花生产商整合为一个区域性纺织产业。\n\n在布基纳法索库杜古（Koudougou），通往城外的道路两旁是绵延至地平线的棉田，其间只有满载棉包驶向边境的卡车。这些纤维将运送数百公里到达西非港口，随后在海上再航行数千公里，最终抵达亚洲某地的纺织厂。\n\n几个月后，它们可能会以衬衫、制服、毛巾或床单的形式重返非洲。这一过程中产生的附加值将留在海外，许多工作岗位也是如此。\n\n西非的主要棉花生产商现在希望改变这种模式。由贝宁、布基纳法索、乍得和马利组成的C4+集团（象牙海岸作为观察员参与）正在支持一项计划，旨在建立区域加工能力，从其棉纤维中保留更多价值，并扩大工业就业。\n\n一项支持世界贸易组织主导的棉花倡议的研究发现，转型该地区的棉花产业需要在纺织、纺织品和服装生产方面进行大量投资。\n\n这项更广泛的计划旨在十年内筹集约50亿美元，并可在制造、物流及相关产业创造约50万个直接就业岗位。\n\n世界贸易组织总干事Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala将这一时刻描述为在西非和中非建立现代纺织和服装产业的机遇。

原文原文 / Original Text

Africa grows plenty of cotton. It just does not make much of it into clothes. A new $5 billion plan aims to change that, turning a scattered collection of cotton producers into a regional textile industry.

The road out of Koudougou in Burkina Faso is lined with cotton fields that stretch toward the horizon, broken only by trucks carrying bales toward the border. The fibre will travel hundreds of kilometres before reaching a West African port, and then thousands more on sea before arriving at a mill somewhere in Asia.

Months later, it may return to Africa as shirts, uniforms, towels or bedsheets. The value added along the way will stay abroad. So will many of the jobs.

West Africa’s main cotton producers now want to change that pattern. The C4+ group, made up of Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali, with Côte d’Ivoire participating as an observer, is backing a plan to build regional processing capacity, keep more value from its fibre and expand industrial jobs.

A study supporting the  World Trade Organisation -led cotton initiative found that transforming the region’s cotton sector would require significant investment in spinning, textiles and garment production.

The broader plan aims to mobilise about $5 billion over a decade and could generate around 500,000 direct jobs across manufacturing, logistics and related industries.

WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala described the moment as an opportunity to build a modern textile and garment industry across West and Central Africa.
