Farmers bets more heavily on cotton in Brazil's newest farming region

Quick Summary:

Cotton growing continues to make inroads in the sprawling farms around Luis Eduardo Magalhaes in the western part of Bahia state, where the "cerradp" (savannah) climate predominates.

The well-defined wet and dry periods have made the region a natural expansion place for cotton growing.

The one paying the price for cotton's expansion is corn (first crop), which is seen falling 9.2% to 363,000 hectares (896,990 acres), the smallest area in six years.
