CmiA & Regenagri<b><sup>®</sup></b> <span class="txt-pink">Certified Cotton</span>
<span class="p2">We are one of the largest private ginners globally, producing consistently high quality, fully traceable cotton in a safe and sustainable environment. Since beginning operations in 2008 as SECO, we have expanded to two gins in Ouangolodougou and Ferkessédougou, with a third under development in Kong. Today, we work with more than 21,000 cotton farmers across northern Côte d’Ivoire, helping them improve their farming practices, increase yields and strengthen their livelihoods.</span>
<span class="p2">Our cotton is certified Cotton made in Africa, a label we have held since 2014. In 2023, Côte d’Ivoire became the first African cotton operation to achieve Regenagri certification for regenerative agriculture, and in 2024 we were also certified under the Better Cotton Initiative. These programmes reflect our long term commitment to improving soil health, reducing environmental impact and supporting thriving farming communities.</span>
