2 min read
Assuming a slight reduction in area and no improvement in yields, production in 2007/08 is forecast at approximately 147,000 MT seed cotton or 275,000 bales. Cotton production in Chad has the lowest yields of production in the Central and West Africa region and is also disadvantaged by poor roads and expensive transportation options. About half of cotton transportation is privatized.
Chad Consumption:
Chad has no spinning or textile mills. There is a small level of artisanal textile production.
Chad Trade:
No official export data by destination are available. CotonTchad officials indicate that the majority of exports are destined for Asia (about 60% to China). All exports depart Chad via truck to the rail-head in Cameroon where they are shipped by train to the port.
