Yes, that cotton crash had major effects on the east African cotton sector as well. It will be interesting to watch longer-term whether pushback on Xinjiang cotton creates new opportunities for the cotton sectors in Africa or elsewhere.

Also, in scrutinising supply chains for cotton, are H&M and co not concerned about the significant negative environmental impacts of growing cotton at scale in the arid Xinjiang landscape? Cotton is intensely water greedy and though it has been pushed from a central level to grow in Xinjiang, I'm sure that the labour concerns could also be extended to environmental safeguarding.
