The scope of the Framework Agreement covers breeding, agronomy, production and ginning of seed cotton, cotton testing, cotton trading, seed processing, fibre and textile processing, and the corresponding supply chain.<\/p>\n<h4>Joint activities with a focus on harmonization of stickiness testing<\/h4>\n<p>Key objectives of this strategic collaboration include the continuation of laboratory activities for research at CIRAD and breeding in cotton-producing countries, primarily focusing on sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, there is a provision for testing the quality of cotton and for harmonized stickiness tests of cotton fibre. This includes round trials for stickiness, reference material creation, database development with stickiness values and results from spinning tests, and device comparison on a cross-device scale.<\/p>\n<h4>Joint know-how transfer for the supply chain<\/h4>\n<p>Joint activities encompass implementing research, education and training programs for the supply chain, organizing workshops and seminars, as well as disseminating scientific and technical information. Additional responsibilities comprise providing expertise to different organizations along the supply chain, publication of research results, and the characterization and testing of seed cotton, cotton lint, and cotton products.<\/p>\n<p>Picture above: f.l.t.r.: Jens Wirth (BBB), Jean-Paul Haessig (BBB), Bruno Bachelier (CIRAD), Axel Drieling (FIBRE), Jean-Paul Gourlot (CIRAD)<\/p>\n<p>Photos \u00a9 Bremen Cotton Exchange, photographer Carsten Heidmann<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partnership for advancement in cotton research The French Institute for Agricultural Research and Development (CIRAD) in Montpellier has joined forces with Bremen partners, including the Bremen Cotton Exchange and FIBRE.
