Ugandan Cotton

Cotton was introduced in Uganda in 1903 to serve as a cash crop and raw material for textiles and its by-products.
Uganda cotton belongs to the G. Hirsutum species whose origins trace back to the American upland varieties (Allen and Sunflower). These two varieties underwent selections and breeding to produce the Uganda Bukalasa Pedigree Albar (BPA) and Serne Albar Type Uganda (SATU) types.

Uganda only cultivates the BPA type.
