In the year to the first week of November, Brazil shipped 2.326 million tons, already surpassing the full-year totals of previous years except 2024, when exports reached 2.77 million tons. At the current pace, the 2025 tally is poised to exceed last year’s level and set a new record, CEPEA said in its latest fortnightly report on the Brazilian cotton market.
Secretariat of Foreign Trade at the Ministry of Economy (SECEX/ME) data shows exports of 293.93 thousand tons in October—up 64.4 per cent from September and 4.6 per cent higher year on year. Over the past 12 months, shipments reached 2.82 million tons, with 2.17 million tons exported between January and October alone. In the last three months, volumes totalled 550.2 thousand tons.
During the first week of November, shipments hit 154.85 thousand tons. With a daily average of 30.97 thousand tons, November exports may approach 600 thousand tons, marking the highest monthly figure in the Secex historical series.
Liquidity remained weak in early November in the domestic marker, leading to periods of price stability. However, domestic cotton values eventually dipped, pressured by lower international prices and export parity. The CEPEA/ESALQ Index (payment in eight days) fell by 1.12 per cent between October 31 and November 17, closing at BRL 3.4469 per pound on November 17.
