What is Boosting Cotton Prices in Tanzania about?
MAFAP analysis shows that cotton farmers in Tanzania received lower prices for their raw cotton between 2005-2010 than they could have due to policy interventions. Taxes and levies imposed on the cotton sector accounted for about 20% of the lower prices, while inefficient ginning technologies that produced lower yields accounted for over 60% of the price disincentives. Improving ginning efficiency and reducing taxes and levies could increase prices and benefits for cotton farmers.
