ANEA: A Decade of Service

During two days of festivities and meetings in Rio de Janeiro in June of 2010, ANEA celebrated its Tenth Anniversary of advocating for the interests of Brazil’s cotton exporters. The milestone event culminated with a gala black-tie dinner at the legendary Copacabana Palace Hotel, facing Copacabana Beach. More than 300 cotton-industry professionals gathered to celebrate the occasion, including 50-some who came from various other countries and were treated to the Brazilian hospitality. Brazil’s cotton industry has made astounding strides in the ten years since ANEA’s founding.
