Abstract:

This manuscript makes a synthesis of knowledge on the African textile potential in world literature. The results show that cotton is the most produced textile raw material in Africa. This African cotton production amounts on average to 11% of the world production for 13% of the world arable land. Africa processes only about 2%. In Africa, there is a large functioning enterprise that has existed since colonisation using antiquated machinery. In particular in Francophone Africa (Central and West Africa). African textiles have a prominent place in its culture. Ndop, Rabal, Korhogo, Bogolan, Obom, Raphia, Kasai Velvet, Ntshak, Kente, Kita are African textiles. These textiles are sometimes used by a specific category of people. Asian and European textiles, with their power in textile production, are wiping out the young African textile industry, which is anxious to take off.
