How we help cotton growers
Since 2012, Southern Cotton has been helping cotton growers in the NSW Southern Valleys get the highest return on every crop through our best-practice ginning services.
You'll love working closely with our award-winning team, who'll personalise your ginning contract and ginning rates. At Southern Cotton, we make the process easy. You won't have to worry about anything.
Here's what we do
Cotton ginning
Consistently ranked as one of the best gins in Australia, privately-owned Southern Cotton provides fast, timely ginning for local growers. Plus:
-
- Tailored logistics
- Cottonseed weighed per gin run & marketed
- Cotton lint marketing flexibility
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking system
- Personal grower portal with current and historical reporting.
Export
An AQIS-approved site, with authorised officers onsite at all times, Southern Cotton exports both cotton lint and cottonseed directly from the gin to the port. This is the most cost-effective method of transporting our produce from the Riverina.
When you export with Southern Cotton, you can expect the following:
-
- Timely packing with no cut-offs for container delivery to port missed
- Re-bagging of any cotton lint not export ready
- Accurate and compliant export documentation
Our warehousing service involves loading bales into containers live (while still on trucks) to reduce turnaround times.
Warehousing
Want to store your bales? Southern Cotton's warehousing facility allows our growers to store bales, in the following situations:
-
- Bales can be stored, without prior sale, while growers wait for classing results
- Bales can be stored and tendered
- Bales can be stored for merchants and picked into lots before packing into containers for exporting
- With a large, sealed concrete staging area, the Southern Cotton warehouse protects bales.
Farming
At Southern Cotton, we're recognised for our dedication to best management practices. Our best-practice philosophy is showcased on our own myBMP accredited farms.
Here, we grow our own cotton and winter cereals , allowing growers to kick the dirt and talk all-things cotton with our friendly directors and farm staff. Based in Coleambally, growers are welcome to contact Chris Thompson at any time.
Cottonseed enquiry
At Southern Cotton, cottonseed can be purchased directly from the gin. Price varies according to current market conditions. For cottonseed enquires email cottonseed@southerncotton.com.au.
