Nigeria’s cotton output drops sharply, causing prices to rise
According to a report by Nigeria’s “Daily Letter” on December 2, cotton production in Katsina State has declined sharply since the beginning of this year, leading to an increase in prices.
Over the years, farmers in Katsina State have turned to the production of rice, soybeans, corn, and sorghum due to the high cost of cotton production, low selling price, and lack of improved varieties.
The dealer pointed out that the cotton purchase price last year was as high as 170,000 naira/ton, and this year it rose to 230,000-245,000 naira/ton. He emphasized that even if the price rises, farmers are not very interested in cotton cultivation, because They have switched to producing other crops.
