The recognition will promote more sustainable Greek cotton farming. Greece is the largest cotton-producing country in Europe, with more than 45,000 registered cotton farmers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/en\/category\/topical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cotton<\/a> is planted on approximately 270,000 hectares \u2013 10% of the total agricultural land.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Farmers certified under the AGRO-2 standards who elect to participate in the BCI Programme will now be eligible to sell their cotton as Better Cotton from the 2020-21 cotton season. By the end of 2022, it is estimated that 5,000 farmers will be growing AGRO-2 licensed cotton (equivalent to Better Cotton), on 40,000 hectares, producing around 185,000 bales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The AGRO-2 Integrated Management Standards were developed by the national Hellenic Agricultural Organisation, ELGO-DEMETER, a statutory body under the Ministry of Rural Development and Food. ELGO-DEMETER and the Inter-Branch Organization of Greek Cotton (DOV) \u2013 jointly ELGO-DOV \u2013 partnered to promote and implement the AGRO-2 standards for Greek cotton production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alan McClay, CEO, Better Cotton Initiative commented; \u201cWe are delighted to be working with ELGO-DOV as a strategic partner; and welcome Greece as a new BCI equivalent standard. By bringing the two systems together; Greek cotton will be able to contribute to improved farmer livelihoods; while increasing the profile of the country\u2019s more sustainable cotton production\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The process is completed after 3 years of work<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmarking of the AGRO-2 standards to the Better Cotton Standard System is the culmination of several years of engagement and preparation. It has began in 2017 following interest expressed by Greek stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BCI worked with IDH, the Sustainable Trade Initiative; to explore the possibility of a BCI programme in Greece. With initial funding from the Better Cotton Growth and Innovation Fund; a series of stakeholder consultations and assessments were conducted in line with BCI\u2019s benchmarking and start-up process. After an independent comparison of the standards and a comprehensive gap analysis; a viable path towards benchmarking AGRO-2 with the Better Cotton Standard System (BCSS) was identified. Following a thorough benchmarking review of the six components of the BCSS; modifications were made to the AGRO-2 standards to ensure alignment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Upon completion, Greece began the official BCI country start-up process; culminating in the signing of a Strategic Partnership Agreement between BCI and ELGO-DOV; to recognise AGRO-2 certified cotton as equivalent to Better Cotton.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39446\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39446\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-39446 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/better-cotton-detail.jpg\" alt=\"Greece joins the Better Cotton Initiative\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/better-cotton-detail.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/better-cotton-detail-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/better-cotton-detail-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.textilegence.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/better-cotton-detail-1068x601.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greece joins the Better Cotton Initiative<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BCI, the world&#8217;s largest cotton sustainability program<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) \u2014 a global not-for-profit organisation; is the largest cotton sustainability programme in the world.
