Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) currently certifies around 40 per cent of the cotton produced by smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Demand from the textile industry for CmiA cotton has increased by around 79 per cent over the last year. Companies that have partnered with CmiA include Tendam Global Fashion Retail from Spain, Vlisco from Holland and Gudrun Sjöden from Sweden. Around 1,033,500 smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa currently work with CmiA to grow cotton in accordance with its sustainability criteria.
