New hybrid cotton varieties BG 571 and BG 567 were recently approved and introduced to farmers in Nigeria in December 2019.
The new varieties are high-yielding and expected to resuscitate the cotton industries in Nigeria. The North-East comprising Adamawa, Yobe, Borno, Gombe, Bauchi and Taraba are fertile states making them a big hub for cotton production.
There are irrigation facilities in Kano and Zamfara to produce cotton in large quantities.
