7 Crop Information and Statistics • South America: Argentina, Brazil, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Perú • Mediterranean: Turkey and Israel • EU: Greece • United States of America • Australia According to a survey conducted by the Pesticide Action Network of the United Kingdom (PAN- UK) in 2000/2001, Turkey and the United States were the leading producers of organic cotton, followed by India, Perú, Uganda, Egypt, Senegal and Tanzania. Unfortunately, the FiBL survey could not get the complete and up-to-date cotton figures for these countries, as can be seen in the table below. Organic cotton areas in these top countries have probably grown since 2001 and today, these areas are likely bigger than the figures presented here. Please note that only 19 of the 27 countries mentioned above appear in the table (not all countries provided detailed information about land use; see also the chapter on data collection and processing). The main conventional cotton producers like the United States or China can also be found in the top organic cotton producing countries as could be expected. Table 10: Organic cotton area by country country date organic cotton area (ha) Uganda 2001 8’980 Turkey 2003 8’000 India (provisional) 2003 7’533 Tanzania 2005 5’793 USA 2003 3’663 China 2004 2’000 Greece 2004 1’011 Pakistan 2004 880 Benin 2005 400 Paraguay 2003 300 Peru 2003 280 Israel 2004 250 Mali 2003 170 Azerbaijan 2005 144 Syria 2004 100 Kyrgyzstan 2005 98 Egypt 2005 73 Senegal 2001 53 Burkina Faso Total cotton area covered by the 2004 30 FiBL Survey 2005 / 2006 53’314 Source: FiBL Survey 2005 / 2006. For the information sources for the individual countries please check the continent tables in the continent chapters of this book. Please note: Not for all cotton producing countries data were available 53
54 The World of Organic Agriculture 2006 The highest demand for textiles made from organic cotton mainly exists in Europe, the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia, where some large companies have become involved with organic cotton textiles in order to improve their corporate image with respect to environmental and social accountability. Also, there are other initiatives to encourage and expand responsible consumption of this material. An example is the Organic Exchange that aims to change ten percent of the world’s demand of cotton to organic cotton within ten years; or PAN-UK, which aims at the same goal at a national level. All these initiatives have ambitious targets but it seems that the demand is growing and the need for a change is becoming unavoidable for many cotton-producing countries.

Organic Exchange Organic Exchange is a non-profit business organization focused on creating environmental and social benefits through the expansion of organic agriculture. Their first project focuses on transitioning 10 percent of the world’s demand of cotton to organic production within ten years. The Organic Exchange brings together brands and retailers with their business partners and key stakeholders to learn more about the social and environmental benefits of organic agriculture, and to develop new business models and tools that support greater use of organic inputs such as organic cotton. They also work to help increase consumer awareness of the organic cotton products. More information about Organic Exchange can be viewed at: www.organicexchange.org
