Annual Report 2024

The Organic As the only global multi-stakeholder initiative dedicated to organic cotton, in 2024 OCA has broadened its reach while remaining grounded in its core mission to improve farmer livelihoods, protect the environment, and promote responsible sourcing. Guided by a farmer-centric approach, powered by industry partnerships and a growing global community of organic cotton farmers, OCA achieved notable milestones in 2024, from scaling up its field work to leveraging data and expanding into new regions.

The Organic Cotton Training Curriculum is a publicly available web-based “training of trainers” course on organic agronomic best practices. The curriculum is the first training package specifically designed for organic cotton growers in India and Pakistan. It includes in-depth modules and activity guides to work alongside existing participatory training methods. Currently, the curriculum is available in English, Hindi and Urdu languages. We plan to expand to other organic cotton territories in the future. Feedback from the initial rollout and updates will be incorporated into the latest versions.

Seed Programme

Scaling up organic cotton farming globally cannot happen without improving the availability, access to and genetic diversity of non-GM cottonseed for organic cotton farmers. Our Seed Programme aims to boost the development and production of locally adapted organic cottonseed around the world.

Innovation Programme

The Innovation Programme invests in interventions that enable a healthy and resilient organic cotton sector. This includes enabling cottonseed research, piloting traceability innovations and shaping industry standards – in short tools to manage product integrity and leverage agronomic best practices so organic and regenerative agriculture can be successful at organic cotton farms.

OCA Platform

The OCA Platform unites the organisations that champion, grow, supply, and buy organic cotton and we facilitate collaboration between them to accelerate change and deliver real impact at farm level. Our global collective of brands, retailers, supply chain partners, civil society organisations, philanthropic foundations and academics are united in their efforts to safeguard the future of organic cotton.
