Brazil-based Better Cotton Initiative releases 2015 Harvest Report

The Brazil-based Better Cotton Initiative has released its Harvest Report for 2015. And it reveals, the country has maintained its position as the largest source of ‘Better Cotton’ globally. Highlights from the report are: In 2015, 189 cotton farmers were licensed to produce Better Cotton. As many as 762,000 metric tonnes of Better Cotton lint was produced across 556,000 hectares. Better Cotton amounted to 57 per cent of the entire cotton crop in Brazil, compared to 45 per cent in 2014.

Better Cotton is sown and harvested in different annual cycles across the world. This means that harvest data becomes available from different regions throughout the calendar year. When a country’s harvest results are finalised, they will be released on the 2015 Harvest Report map on an ongoing basis.

This marks the fifth year of Better Cotton production in Brazil, and the second year of BCI’s Strategic Partnership with Associação Brasileiro dos Produtores de Algodão (ABRAPA). The next Harvest Report will be released by Tajikistan.
