The objective of the overall study was to carry out a comparative analysis of the links between sector structure and observed performance outcomes on a sample of nine of the major cotton exporting countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, and draw lessons from each country's experience that can provide useful guidance to policy-makers, industry stakeholders, and interested donors agencies in the design of future cotton sector reform programs. This paper describes and reviews the situation of the cotton sector of Cote d'Ivoire, as well as the reforms that the sector has undergone since the mid-1990s.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADVISORY SERVICESAGRICULTURAL CENSUSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL CREDITAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENTAGRICULTURAL EXPORTAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL SECTORSAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE RESEARCHAGRICULTURE RESEARCH INSTITUTEAGRONOMIC RESEARCHANIMAL TRACTIONARREARSASSOCIATIONAUDITAVERAGE YIELDSBALANCE SHEETBANKBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBONDSCACAOCAPITALCASH FLOWCOFFEECOLLECTIVECOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMERCIAL CROPSCOMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIPSCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMPANIESCOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOMPETITIVENESSCONSOLIDATIONCOOPERATIONCOOPERATIVECOOPERATIVESCORNCOTTONCOTTON CULTIVATIONCOTTON MARKETINGCOTTON PRICESCOTTON PRODUCERSCOTTON PRODUCING ZONECOTTON PRODUCTIONCOTTON PROGRAMCOTTON SALESCOTTON SECTORCOTTON SEEDCOTTON ZONECREDITCROPCULTIVATED LANDCULTIVATIONDEBTDEBTSDEREGULATIONDEVALUATIONDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT COMPANYDIRECTORSDISTRIBUTIONECONOMIC AGENTECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC SITUATIONEUROPEAN COMMISSIONEXCHANGE RATEEXPLOITATIONSEXPORT CROPEXPORTSEXTENSION AGENCYEXTENSION AGENTSFAILURESFAMILIESFARMFARMERFARMER ORGANIZATIONSFARMERSFARMINGFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFEESFERTILIZERSFIBRES TEXTILESFINANCEFINANCE COMPANYFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL DIFFICULTIESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCINGFIXED COSTSFOOD CROPSFOOD PRODUCTIONFOREIGN CURRENCYGINNERIESGUARANTEEHERBICIDESIDBINFLUENCEINPUTSINTERESTINTERESTSINVENTORYINVESTMENTINVESTMENT BANKINVESTMENTSLARGE FARMLIMITEDLIMITED LIABILITYLIMITED LIABILITY COMPANYLIQUIDATIONLIQUIDITYLOANLOAN RECOVERYLOANSMANAGERSMARKETSMERCHANTMILLETMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMONOPOLIESMONOPOLYOPERATING COSTSOUTCOMESOVERDUE DEBTPALM OILPARTIAL PRIVATIZATIONPAYMENTSPEANUTSPLANSPLANTSPOOR CREDITPOPULATIONSPRIVATE COMPANIESPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCEPRODUCER ORGANIZATIONPRODUCER ORGANIZATIONSPRODUCTION ACTIVITIESPRODUCTION COSTSPROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONPROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONSPROFIT MARGINSPROFITABILITYPUBLIC COMPANYPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC INVESTMENTQUALITY SEEDRAW MATERIALSREGULATORY AGENCYREGULATORY AUTHORITYREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREPAYMENTREPAYMENT RATEREPAYMENT RATESREPORTSRESEARCHRICERISK MANAGEMENTRURAL DEVELOPMENTSALES REVENUESAVINGSSAVINGS ACCOUNTSEASONSSEEDSEED COTTONSEED PRODUCTIONSEEDSSMALL PRODUCERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOIL MANAGEMENTSORGHUMSPONSORSHIPSTAKEHOLDERSSTATESTATE SUPPORTSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUBSIDIARYSUGARSUPPLYTAKEOVERTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETRACEABILITYTRENDSTRUSTUMBRELLA ORGANIZATIONUMBRELLA ORGANIZATIONSUNFAIR COMPETITIONUNIONUNIONSUNIVERSITYUPLAND RICEVALUATIONVALUEVILLAGEVILLAGESYAMSYIELDSWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/27586
