This report outlines the achievements in Australian cotton research, development and extension (RD&E) by CRDC for the five years from 2008-13, under three strategic RD&E priorities: value chain, farming systems and human capacity.
Overall, it is estimated that CRDC's $49.8 million investment between 2008 and 2013 within these three priority areas delivered a $348 million benefit to cotton growers and a $697 million benefit to society at large.
The Spring 2025 edition of Spotlight captures a season of progress and partnership in Australian cotton. This issue leads with the announcement of the Australian Cotton Industry Data Platform build – a $7 million CRDC initiative with KPMG Australia – set to streamline data management, boost traceability and prepare growers for future market demands.
CRDC is inviting innovative startups, ventures, entrepreneurs, agribusinesses and research organisations to participate in an open call for bold, forward-thinking proposals aimed at advancing next-generation solutions for the cotton industry.
