The average November price settled at BRL 3.4505 (~$0.65) per pound, 1.91 per cent lower than in October 2025 and 12.5 per cent below November 2024. Over the month, the Index slipped 0.23 per cent and remained below export parity, signalling little support from external markets.
Market participants are preparing for the year-end period, buying only small volumes. Sellers under cash pressure or looking to clear inventories have shown greater price flexibility, adding to the downward momentum, CEPEA said in its latest fortnightly report on the Brazilian cotton market.
Beyond ongoing shipments under term contracts, traders are already negotiating new deals for early 2026 deliveries and for cotton from the next season. According to Brazilian Cotton Producers Association (ABRAPA), 81.73 per cent of Brazil’s 2024-25 crop had been processed by November 27, with progress at 79 per cent in Mato Grosso and 92 per cent in Bahia.
