Less Risk

Advances in plant breeding and biotechnology have increased yield potential and made pests more manageable thus reducing production risks and increasing potential rewards.

Current varieties are adapted to Australia’s challenging environment with a range of options available to suit various conditions and rainfall environments.

On an annual basis, the profitability of any crop will rise and fall due to market forces and seasonal conditions. However, cotton, when examined over the full term of a rotational cycle, has shown to consistently provide the high gross margin return.

Dryland cotton is also a very cash flow favourable crop when comparing in-crop variable costs, especially with sorghum.

Technology fee sales and marketing programs (Cotton Choices™) in addition to end of season processing costs (ginning and freight) are incurred following cotton marketing and receival of lint and seed income.
