Excerpt from Cotton in Uganda New and improved varieties have been developed in Uganda, and their introduction will soon be complete. Despite careful and effective research and sincere efforts by government extension personnel to encourage farmers to adopt improved cultural practices, much of the crop is nevertheless planted too late to achieve best results under normal weather conditions, and other cultural practices lag far behind recommendations. Thus, although the potential exists for increased yields, production, and profitability for cotton producers in Uganda, it appears doubtful that farmers will change their past practices and adopt new techniques fast enough to reach the 1971 goal. In terms of costs and returns, the major cost component in cotton production - under the prevailing system of cotton culture - is unpaid family labor. In a study of several cotton farms made a few years ago - but still believed to be generally representative - the output of all cr0ps had an aggregate value of $188 per farm, of which $77 represented the value of crops used by the farm family and $11 1 products sold. About $84 of this was the value of the cotton raised on acres. In order to produce this $84 of cotton, unpaid family labor was used to the extent of 195 man days and hired labor to the extent of 63 man days. This hired labor was normally paid with farm products, including homemade beer. Other expenses averaged $14 per farm for the entire crop production on the farms, but the cotton portion of this cost item is not shown separately. From this, it is evident that cotton absorbed a lot of man labor that may have had no better use, but the wage rate represented by the cotton cr0p was indeed very modest. Exports of raw cotton from Uganda now account for about seven out of eight bales produced. The bales exported in 1968-69 were divided among 20 countries. The largest customer was Hong Kong, with bales. This was followed by India, with bales; Japan, with bales; and West Germany, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands, with from to bales each.

The textile industry was one of the first manufacturing activities to become organized globally, as mechanized production in Europe used cotton from the various colonies. Africa, the least developed of the world’s major regions, is now increasingly engaged in the production of this crop for the global market, and debates about the pros and cons of this trend have intensified. Hanging by a Thread: Cotton, Globalization, and Poverty in Africa illuminates the connections between Africa and the global economy. The editors offer a compelling set of linked studies that detail one aspect of the globalization process in Africa, the cotton commodity chain. From global policy debates, to impacts on the natural environment, to the economic and social implications of this process, Hanging by a Thread explores cotton production in the postcolonial period from different disciplinary perspectives and in a range of national contexts. This approach makes the globalization process palpable by detailing how changes at the macroeconomic level play out on the ground in the world’s poorest region. Hanging by a Thread offers new insights on the region in a global context and provides a critical perspective on current and future development policy for Africa. Contributors: Thomas J.
