Marché de Koutiala
Wholesale · Koutiala, Mali · also called Koutiala market
Mali's cotton capital, and a cereal regrouping centre with it. Cotton is sold through the ginning system rather than haggled here, but the rotation crops that follow it — millet, sorghum and maize — trade on this market, which is why a cotton grower still needs it.
