discover Cotton Brazil

Cotton Brazil is an industry-wide initiative dedicated to promoting the recognition and uptake of Brazilian cotton globally. Our mission is to showcase the quality, sustainability, traceability and reliability of Brazil’s natural cotton fiber. Valued for its comfort, biodegradability, and natural characteristics, Brazilian cotton appeals to consumers who prioritize both quality and a commitment to sustainability and is a preferred choice in the global market. Cotton Brazil is an initiative of Abrapa, the Brazilian Cotton Producers Association, ANEA, the Brazilian Cotton Shippers Association, and ApexBrasil, the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency.

our key initiatives

Buyers mission

We invite managers and players from the global textile industry to immerse themselves in responsible fibre production. On Brazilian soil, participants know farms, processing units, quality laboratories and other links in the chain.

Sellers mission

With a delegation of Brazilian producers, we carry out events and technical visits in the countries that are the largest customers of our cotton. We have already carried out actions in Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, China, Turkey and Pakistan.

Cotton Brazil Outlook

A meeting with the largest local industrialists, held in a face-to-face seminar format in the countries that buy our cotton, exclusively for professionals in the sector.

Brazilian Cotton Dialogues

An immersion in the main model farms of the reference states in the production of cotton in Brazil, the analysis laboratories and the headquarters of Abrapa in Brasília-DF. Guests get to know the cotton farming and the people and processes behind the production.

Cotton Brazil Knowledge Hub

An innovative digital platform that will serve as the main hub for knowledge and solutions about Brazilian cotton worldwide. It will be the central point of contact for brands, spinners, traders, and industry stakeholders, reinforcing Brazil’s position as a global leader in the supply of high-quality, sustainable, and technology-driven cotton.

Sponsorship on major conferences in the cotton chain

In addition to the actions carried out by our team, we are also present at external events, such as panelists or sponsors. Check out some of them: Kingpins 2024 | ICA Bremen 2024 | Cop28 Participation
