China is looking to Africa for an alternative source of cotton

BEIJING - China is doing more to promote and develop its cotton-planting operation in four African countries, the Ministry of Commerce said on its website on Thursday.

Experts and analysts said the move will help to strengthen ties between China, Benin, Mali, Chad and Burkina Faso. It will also allow the cotton trade to take place under fairer conditions in accordance with the World Trade Organization's (WTO) framework.

According to the statement, China will provide seeds, machinery, fertilizer and other materials to help promote cotton planting in the African countries.
