"Cotton in Africa" ​​(CmiA) is the largest cotton certification brand in Africa, bringing about 50 million pieces of textiles to the market in 2016. It is one of the world's leading standards for sustainable cotton production.

As part of the AbTF (Trade Foundation) family of standards, in 2016, approximately 780,000 farmers were involved in production (18% of whom were women), producing a total of 320,000 tons of cotton.
