Mr Reeves added This system makes cotton production more economically sustainable for the Brazilian cotton farmer. It reduces input costs and maintains yields. It allows for fewer inputs of time, machinery, labor and chemicals.

This makes Brazilian cotton production more competitive in the global market. I have also observed that as a result of using this system that farmers have more time to spend with their families.

Through the 90s Brazil was a significant importer of raw cotton with annual imports of 1.5 to 2 million bales. However, it has now become a net exporter. If the Brazilian method of cotton cultivation was to be encouraged by the drought prone countries, it would lead to more economic prosperity among its farmers.
