Telangana, a top cotton producer in India, will begin mapping out its cotton supply chain this month. This project is being done in collaboration with the ILO in order to end child labor in cotton fields. The director of Telangana’s child and bonded labor agency has stated that this project is relevant because more than 80 percent of child laborers have been found to be working in agriculture. Additionally, experts claim that the cotton supply chain is the most difficult to map due to the numerous production stages that it goes through before it reaches its final form.
