The Australian Cotton Comparative Analysis provides the industry benchmark for the economics of cotton growing in Australia. The report focuses on the economics of the 2016 crop from growers across the different cotton-growing valleys. It also presents trends that have been measured against more than ten years of data. This year, the report also includes per bale figures and excerpts from three industry reports which analyse cotton growing practices, workforce turnover and water productivity. The Cotton Comparative Analysis is a joint initiative of CRDC and Boyce Chartered Accountants.
