Cotton Ginning in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Cottoned on: Revenue has skyrocketed alongside soaring cotton prices and yields

The Cotton Ginning industry is an important part of the agricultural support services and national cotton sectors, and is closely linked to the Cotton Growing industry. Various factors also indirectly affect cotton ginners, like climatic conditions, water supply regulation, cotton stockpiling, and global cotton consumption and production fluctuations. Typically, cotton is harvested and ginned towards the end of the financial year, with any surplus production carried into the following year. Higher cotton production correlates with higher revenue, often with a one-year delay due to the timing of harvest season. The variability of these factors has caused significant revenue volatility in recent years.

Firms in the industry are mainly engaged in ginning and trading cotton. Ginning separates the cotton fibres (lint) from the cottonseed. Cleaned lint is pressed into bales and sold to cotton spinners and textile manufacturers.
