Cotton is a source of livelihoods for millions of people around the world, and it contributes significantly to the economies of many developing countries.

Accounting for 80% of the global natural fibre production, cotton takes up just 2.1% of the world’s arable land, but meets 27% of the globe's textile needs.

On Saturday's #WorldCottonDay, fao stresses the importance of making cotton fair & sustainable for all, from farm to fashion.
