Cotton · Algodão do Brasil
After the coffee, the cotton.
Fazenda 1888 grows from two of Brazil's great harvests. Alongside our green coffee, we supply graded Brazilian cotton — baled, classed and shipped in volume to spinners and mills around the world.
Two Core Businesses
One name, two harvests.
The same estates that gave Brazil its coffee heritage also gave it cotton — the white gold of the cerrado. Fazenda 1888 carries one name across both: coffee and cotton, sourced at origin, prepared to export standard, and traded with the same discipline.
Our cotton comes from the high plateaus of Mato Grosso and western Bahia — regions with the sun, altitude and rainfall that produce long, strong, clean lint. Every lot is ginned, pressed, classed and documented before it leaves the country.
