WASHINGTON -- The National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA) through its international development program CLUSA, today announced the receipt of an $8 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to improve the livelihoods of 60,000 small scale cotton farmers in Mozambique.

The grant will fund The Cotton Value Chain Improvement Project, a 5-year project aimed at increasing Mozambican farmers' cotton yields-and profits-by improving their efficiency in producing cotton.
