The partnership between Australian cotton growers and the Australian Government to co-invest in R&D through CRDC is formalised in this Funding Agreement, which covers the 2025-2034 period. This Agreement between the Government and CRDC sets out expectations about CRDC's performance, transparency and accountability to levy-payers, the Government and the public.
The Winter 2026 edition of Spotlight highlights how Australia’s cotton industry is tackling real on‑farm risks through practical research, grower‑led trials and new innovation. Across this edition, you’ll find a strong focus on improving disease identification and management through expanded diagnostics, building drought resilience through on‑farm trials, and testing new approaches to nitrogen use.
CRDC has appointed respected agricultural industry leader Georgina Pengilley as its Managing Director, ushering in a new era of research, development and extension (RD&E) leadership for Australian cotton growers.
