Koutiala is the heartland of the cotton production in Mali and its main town is sometimes called "the white gold capital" for its cotton.[2] However, the industry has been affected by stagnation since the 1980s.[3] Aside from cotton it is also noted for grain production, primarily millet, sorghum and maize.[4]
