In 2001-2002, world cotton prices had reached their lowest level in 30 years, falling to only <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">28.5 cents per pound<\/span> in October 2001. This crisis was largely attributed to massive subsidies granted by developed countries, notably the United States which paid <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">$2.3 billion<\/span> in subsidies to their cotton producers in 2001\/2002.<br><br>Faced with this critical situation, African cotton professionals met in Cotonou in June 2001, then in Abidjan in June 2002, to create an organization capable of defending their interests collectively. The founding countries mainly included cotton-producing nations from West and Central Africa, notably Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali (forming the <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">&#8220;Cotton-4&#8221;<\/span> group), as well as Senegal, C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire and Cameroon.<br><br>ACA operates with a governance structure comprising a Management Committee and an annual General Assembly that regularly brings together more than <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">200 delegates<\/span> from Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas. The organization relies on five specialized technical committees: agricultural production, ginning and energy, transport and logistics, classification and methodology, and marketing.                    <\/p>\n                                        \n                                        <blockquote class=\"history-quote\" style=\"border-left-color: #A8E6CF; color: #6C757D;\">\n                        &#8220;Contributing to the equitable and sustainable development of African cotton by serving as a framework for exchanges and dialogue between cotton professionals, and making ACA the champion of African cotton defense.&#8221;                    <\/blockquote>\n                                        \n                                        <p class=\"additional-text\">\n                        In May 2023, during the 19th annual meeting in Accra, Ghana, ACA experienced a major organizational renaissance. <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">Ibrahim Malloum<\/span>, Secretary General for Trade at Cotontchad SN, was elected president with the mission to make ACA &#8220;the champion of African cotton defense&#8221;. This restructuring included the adoption of new statutes, the relocation of headquarters from Cotonou to <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso<\/span>, and the creation of an Executive Secretary position.<br><br>ACA&#8217;s achievements are considerable. The organization played a crucial role in international advocacy against unfair subsidies, actively supporting the &#8220;Cotton-4&#8221; initiative at the WTO. This campaign led to the <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">Nairobi Ministerial Decision on cotton in 2015<\/span>, officially recognizing trade distortions caused by subsidies. Technically, ACA has developed unified African standards for cotton, producing <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">250 standard boxes<\/span> of cotton quality in 2024.<br><br>The impact of capacity building is substantial. Through partnerships with FAO, CIRAD and other international organizations, ACA has facilitated the training of <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">4,291 cotton producers<\/span> in full-season programs, supported 153 technical facilitators and trained 127 new trainers. Today, ACA represents producing countries from <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">four regions of Africa<\/span> and defends the interests of <span style=\"color: #2D9B8A;font-weight: 600\">16 million people<\/span> directly employed in the cotton sector.

These include the challenge of improving productivity, improving fiber quality, and above all, increasing the rate of local processing.<br>Faced with these multiple constraints that impact our sector, <strong>unity and coordination<\/strong> <strong>of our efforts<\/strong> are more important than ever.<br><br>That is why I am making a solemn appeal to all members, old and new, as well as to all our partners: let us mobilize, join forces, and share our expertise to raise the ambitions of the ACA even higher.<br>Our mutual future depends on our ability to cooperate, innovate, and act together. By working collectively, we will be able to meet current and future challenges and ensure a sustainable future for our cotton industries.<br><br>Thank you for your commitment and availability, which I hope will be effective!<br>Together, let&#8217;s promote African cotton for the benefit of the approximately 30 million people who live directly or indirectly from cotton!<br><br>Kassoum KONE<br>President of the African Cotton Association                    <\/p>\n                                        \n                                        <blockquote class=\"history-quote\" style=\"border-left-color: #A8E6CF; color: #6C757D;\">\n                        Kassoum KONE<br>Pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019Association Cotonni\u00e8re Africaine                    <\/blockquote>\n                                        \n                                        <p class=\"additional-text\">\n                        <br>                    <\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n                        <div class=\"our-history-image\">\n                <div class=\"image-container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" \n                        src=\"https:\/\/associationcotonniereafricaine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG-20250826-WA0015.jpg\" \n                        alt=\"ACA Team\" \n                        class=\"history-image\"\n                    \/>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n.our-history-block {\n    padding: 60px 20px;\n}\n\n.our-history-container {\n    max-width: 1200px;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n}\n\n.our-history-grid {\n    display: grid;\n    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;\n    gap: 60px;\n    align-items: start;\n}\n\n.our-history-content {\n    padding-right: 40px;\n}\n\n.our-history-title {\n    font-size: 2.5rem;\n    font-weight: 700;\n    margin: 0 0 40px 0;\n    line-height: 1.2;\n}\n\n.our-history-text-content .main-text,\n.our-history-text-content .additional-text {\n    font-size: 1.1rem;\n    line-height: 1.7;\n    margin-bottom: 30px;\n}\n\n.history-quote {\n    border-left: 4px solid;\n    padding-left: 30px;\n    margin: 40px 0;\n    font-style: italic;\n    font-size: 1.2rem;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    position: relative;\n}\n\n.history-quote::before {\n    content: '\"';\n    font-size: 4rem;\n    position: absolute;\n    left: -20px;\n    top: -20px;\n    opacity: 0.3;\n}\n\n.our-history-image .image-container {\n    position: relative;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    overflow: hidden;\n    box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n}\n\n.history-image {\n    width: 100%;\n    height: auto;\n    display: block;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 768px) {\n    .our-history-grid {\n        grid-template-columns: 1fr;\n        gap: 40px;\n    }\n    \n    .our-history-content {\n        padding-right: 0;\n    }\n    \n    .our-history-title {\n        font-size: 2rem;\n    }\n    \n    .our-history-text-content .main-text,\n    .our-history-text-content .additional-text {\n        font-size: 1rem;\n    }\n    \n    .history-quote {\n        font-size: 1.1rem;\n        margin: 30px 0;\n        padding-left: 20px;\n    }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nos_objectifs\" style=\"font-size:10px\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nos-missions-block alignfull wp-block-mon-theme-aca-nos-missions\" id=\"nos-missions-1\">\n    <section class=\"missions-section\">\n        <div class=\"missions-container\">\n            <!-- Section Header -->\n                            <div class=\"missions-header\">\n                                            <h2 class=\"missions-title\">Our Missions<\/h2>\n                                                                <p class=\"missions-subtitle\">The main objective of the ACA is to bring together all cotton professionals working in Africa and create a platform for dialogue to address issues of common interest.
