The 14th Review Meeting of the Regional Production Plan for Integrated Cotton in Africa (Pr-Pica) was held in Dakar, Senegalese media outlet Le Journal reported on March 30. The secretary-general of Senegal's Ministry of Agriculture said at the opening ceremony that cotton production in Senegal has made a leap in the past three years, with yields per hectare increasing from 696 kilograms in 2018-19 to 1,150 kilograms this year, and total cotton production is expected to reach 22,000 tons in 2021-22, an increase of about 10% year-on-year. Senegal's cotton producing areas are mainly located in the southern regions of Tambacounda, Kédougou and Kolda, and the Senegalese government is mulling policies to help regional agricultural operators withstand the risks posed by the new crown epidemic and rising fertilizer prices. This is the third time Senegal has hosted the Pr-Pica conference, a mechanism that provides a platform for cooperative dialogue among eight cotton-producing countries in West Africa.
