Cotton plants against blue sky for World Cotton Day

World Cotton Day, celebrated annually on the 7th of October, highlights the importance of cotton as a global commodity that sustains millions of livelihoods, particularly in developing countries. Cotton is one of the world’s most widely used natural fibres, playing a key role in the textile industry, from clothing to home furnishings. This day is dedicated to recognising the value of cotton in the global economy and raising awareness about the need for sustainable cotton production practices.

Cotton production supports the economies of many countries, providing jobs for farmers, factory workers, and artisans. World Cotton Day also highlights the importance of addressing the challenges faced by cotton farmers, such as fair trade, climate change, and access to resources. The day aims to promote sustainable farming practices that ensure the well-being of workers, protect the environment, and support the long-term viability of the cotton industry.
