Date Issued:2018-06-30

Abstract

The annual qualitative and quantitative survey project measures the impacts and outcomes of research and production critical to the Australian cotton industry. Crop Consultants Australia (CCA) has collected quantitative and qualitative data for the industry since the early 1990s. The data helps the industry to better understand the impact of research and extension, technology adoption, farming practices and product usage as well as identifying new issues and opportunities.

This project collected and provided quality quantitative and qualitative datasets of good geographical representation (coverage of Australia’s cotton production area) relating to economic, environmental and social factors of Australia’s cotton industry for the seasons 2014/15 – 2016/17. The data collected each year and provided to CRDC is able to be compared with data from other years to determine progress on various issues and changes in management practices.

The data provided to CRDC is utilised by industry for benchmarking, trending and research purposes.
