Description
In Benin, cotton is much more than a crop-- it is the country’s "white gold" and the pillar of its economy. From the richness of fields cultivated with care, to the ultra-modern facilities where it is milled and woven, to the craftsman and designers who transform it into both fashion and utilitarian items. The West African nation is now vying to become the continent's largest cotton producer. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES ARRANGED IN SEQUENCES N°36WC7FA
