Cottco MD Pious Manamike said in a statement the firefighting operation was hampered by strong winds in the area at that time. “The fire was detected by a truck driver near the ginnery who immediately alerted the guards and management. The cause of the fire has not yet been established and investigations are under way,” Manamike said.

SA is the main destination for its cotton exports. However, cotton production has declined in major growing areas in the county over the past decades.
