On a large factory floor in southwestern Benin, dozens of young people cut, stitch and assemble cotton shirts - part of a major push by the West African country to develop its textile sector.

Benin has in the last few years become Africa's leading cotton producer, with annual production of 728,000 tonnes in 2020/21, according to government figures. It exports almost all of that raw, with the majority going to Bangladesh.

GDIZ started two years ago as the result of a partnership between the government and Arise Integrated Industrial Platforms , a pan-African venture partly owned by the Africa Finance Corporation.People work at a shirt-making factory in the Glo-Djigbe Industrial Zone in Abomey-Calavi, Benin October 13, 2022.

"When the Glo-Djigbe factory starts its activities, I am sure that we will earn more," said 46-year-old cotton farmer Leonard Madjaedou, who has benefited from government support to boost his yields.
