Brazil’s vast size means transportation times vary depending on the harvest location before reaching the Port of Santos, Brazil’s main port, from which 98.6% of fiber exports depart. Shipping takes 2 to 4 days post-processing, plus several more days to reach key buying countries:

China – 35 to 45 days (Qingdao, Shanghai, Zhangjiagang ports)

Vietnam – 42 to 50 days (Ho Chi Minh City, Haiphong, Danang ports)

Bangladesh – 45 to 65 days (Lat Krabang port)

Approximately 83% of export cotton is transported to port via road.

Transit by road from the cotton producing regions to Santos can take between 3-5 days.

few containers are released for up-country packing.

Rail service is available in Mato Grosso, with max capacity of around 80k / month for all commodities.

Typically around 97% of Brazilian cotton exports are routed through the Port of Santos.
