A group of 21 representatives from the textile industry closely followed some steps in the development process of harvesting and processing cotton on farms and mills in the interior of Mato Grosso, during the Buyers Mission 2022.
The goal is to show the world's main fiber buyers that agricultural production in the state meets all socio-environmental criteria, as well as to promote the purchase of Brazilian products, with the state being the main producer. The action is organized by the Brazilian Cotton Growers Association (Abrapa).
Formed by representatives from industries in Bangladesh, South Korea, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam, and Mexico, the delegation visited cotton properties and mills located in the municipalities of Campo Verde, Primavera do Leste, and Sorriso.
Pakistani Adil Bashir, from SurajCotton Mills, visiting Brazil for the first time, says he is impressed with what he saw. According to him, for 15 years, Pakistan has been a major consumer of Brazilian cotton. "After seeing all the improvements being made, I do believe that in the future, we will increase our purchases even more. We were also impressed by the best agricultural practices and environmental care. After this visit, you will hear me talk a lot about planting and processing, and I believe this will indeed encourage more people to buy," the Pakistani reports.
According to the president of the Mato Grosso Cotton Producers Association (Ampa), Paulo Sérgio Aguiar, the group represents the world's largest spinning industries and together have a potential purchase of 900,000 tons of cotton. That is, more than half of what Brazil exports, which is close to 1.7 million tons per year. "They came to see for themselves that production is responsible, as are environmental issues and other procedures. And they are impressed with everything they are seeing. The work in regional agriculture is done in an organized manner, so much so that it has the ABR seal and meets the criteria for responsible production, both environmentally, economically, and socially," explains the president.
For Abrapa's president, Júlio Cézar Busato, the visit helps improve the sector's image and opens doors for larger volumes of negotiations. He also points out that Asian countries together buy about 90% of the national production. He also notes that the delegation from Turkey represents the three largest industries in that country that buy the national product.
Briquette machine produces briquettes from cotton waste
The briquette machine offers very high production to efficiently utilize the waste generated by agricultural companies that produce cotton.
This is because the cotton waste used in the production of briquettes is perfect for fattening animals in confinement or can be used by the company itself as clean solid fuel for furnaces and boilers, or sold and used to generate profit.
With this increasingly expanding market, investing in a briquette machine is the ideal solution to generate savings and convenience, as well as help the environment.
