Cotton/Cepea: Limited Supply and Strong Export Pace Keep Cotton Prices on the Rise
May, 07, 2025 Posted by Denise VileraWeek 202519
Cotton lint prices continue to climb in Brazil. According to researchers from Cepea, the upward trend is supported by firm seller positions, limited supply from the 2023/24 season, and a strong pace of fiber exports.
Cepea data show that the CEPEA/ESALQ Indicator for cotton lint (with 8-day payment terms) rose by 4.04% in April.
Below is a historical overview of Brazilian cotton exports starting from January 2022. The chart was created using DataLiner data:
