Cotton Australia commemorated its 50^th anniversary by presenting at events in Queensland and New South Wales. To coincide with its 50th anniversary, Cotton Australia has launched an interactive timeline to showcase the history of the organisation, and the broader industry. Australia’s cotton industry was highlighted on the global stage at the Better Cotton Conference.

Cotton Australia CEO Adam Kay presented to about 150 people, including former governor general Dame Quintin Bryce about the industry and the advances made by growers. Queensland agriculture minister Mark Furner hosted an engagement event for ministers, politicians, and staffers of all sides of politics to find out more about the industry by engaging with the great cross-section of industry personnel in attendance, Cotton Australia said in a press release.

Cotton Australia was involved in the NSW Farm Writers lunch in Sydney. Growers Fleur Anderson and Tony Quigley, and cotton market analyst (and NT grower) Pete Johnson sat on a panel and answered attendees’ questions about the cotton industry. Cotton Australia’s 50^th anniversary will be celebrated with growers and all industry personnel at the 2022 Australian Cotton Conference in August.
