Cotton Market

With harvests reaching high numbers in cotton lint production in recent years, Brazil has been consolidating its presence as one of the largest global players in the cotton market. The country has been increasing its position as one of the main producers and exporters of natural fiber worldwide. This success is the result of the increase in the planted area, investments in structure and advanced technologies and the implementation of high productivity practices. The excellent quality fiber produced by Brazil also played a key role in its consolidation as one of the leaders in the global cotton market. In addition, sector entities carry out strategic work to open new foreign markets for Brazilian feathers.

Actively inserted in this market, Souza Lima has participated and contributed to the development of the cotton production chain in Brazil, bringing commercial options and support to sellers and buyers of this raw material. With a traditional and strong presence in the domestic market alongside the national textile industries, Souza Lima also has a relevant and growing participation in the negotiation of Brazilian fiber destined for the foreign market, working closely with foreign buyers.

The cotton industry is one of the most relevant for the Brazilian economy due to its strong foreign exchange capability, high added value compared to other crops and as raw material for the textile industry. Cotton production and processing provide a source of job opportunities and high revenue since it encompasses various processes from planting the seeds to final preparation of textile products and retail sales.
