Even with a month to go before the end of the 2020/21 crop year, Brazilian revenue from cotton exports is already 19.4% higher than that of the entire 2019/20 cycle, according to the Brazilian association of cotton producers (ABRAPA), which released cotton data up to June this Tuesday. Export volume grew 25%.
Between August of last year and June, exports of 2.34 million tons of cotton generated US$ 3.67 billion for Brazil. The organization adopts the export calendar also used by the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), an international reference for the activity.
