Brazilian cotton

I was in the shower the other day and my robe was hanging across from me. The tag was sticking out and I noticed that it read "100% algodon, hecho en brasil." It caught my eye because I had never noticed any clothing made in Brazil before. So, when I was dressed, I Googled cotton production in Brazil and apparently Brazil has become a major comepetitior with the US in worldwide cotton production in recent years. You can read more about it here if this interests you at all.
