Abrapa

Only 20 years separate two realities: from a production level of 700 thousand tons to an output of almost 3 million tons. During this period, our country also reached the rank of 2nd largest exporter of cotton in the world! And this journey started on April 7, 1999, when the Brazilian Association of Cotton Growers (Abrapa) was created. The association was born under the sign of development, with 4 strategic pillars: quality, sustainability, traceability, and promotion.

The journey has been one of constant learning and hard work, as we opened new markets and showed the potential of Brazilian raw materials to the world.
