Marcelo Duarte Monteiro, Director ABRAPA who is based out of Singapore delivered a speech @ 3rd World Cotton Summit dated 7th Oct, 2024 in New Delhi reflecting on Brazil Cotton.

Climate resilience is an issue for all of us in agriculture, regardless of where you are, regardless if you're in Brazil, the U. S., or India. That's something we need to be taking into account.

We rely on exports as only 25% of our production stays in Brazil, so that's a huge asset you have here in India to have such a huge industrial base. As we don't have that robust industrial base in Brazil, we have to rely on exports..exports..exports but still, it does not impinge on our sustained growth trajectory.
I mean Brazil cotton has a high compliance work ethos and are entirely aligned with new standards everywhere they're coming out from i.e. gold standards and private standards, regulations, legislation whether in the U. S./ everywhere. Although, it has to be mentioned here that, increasing cross-border production are one of the challenges that we're facing.
