Cottonseed Marketing
60 years growing together
The industry leader in the trading and marketing of Australian Cottonseed
Namoi Cotton’s vast ginning network and infrastructure enable us to sell cottonseed to domestic and international markets while ensuring competitive pricing through the suite of gin for seed contracts we offer to growers.
A reputation as a premium supplier of Australian cottonseed
Namoi Cotton has established relationships with both domestic and international customers. We’ve built a reputation of being a premium supplier of Australian cottonseed here and overseas.
Relationships matter
Our 60 years in the industry and background as a grower-owned cooperative have seen us develop positive relationships. The cottonseed marketing aspect of Namoi Cotton is no different. These relationships are built on the quality of service we provide and our timely shipping with accurate documentation.
The quality of cottonseed from Namoi Cotton is well regarded as a result of our ability to monitor and control the supply chain from point of origin to destination.
You can access three different contract types
Fixed Bale Contract
You can work with your account manager on a fixed bale agreement. This is where you select a fixed number of bales at a specified ginning price. If you choose to price your seed with Namoi Cotton, it is known as a net ginning for seed contract. You may retain your seed for your own use. In this case, it becomes a retained seed contract.
Force Majeure (FM)
Force Majeure refers to a situation where circumstances beyond your control (such as drought, flood or a storm event) limit your ability to deliver the number of bales you committed to. In such circumstances, Namoi Cotton may bear the production risk. This is on a case-by-case basis and is negotiated in close consultation between you and your nominated account manager. You may elect to either price your seed on the day or retain the seed.
Balance of Crop (BOC)
A Balance of Crop Contract is where you nominate a specified number of bales (in consultation with your nominated account manager) that you believe you will produce based on the number of hectares you have planted. Similar to an FM contract, Namoi Cotton will bear the risk for you, however, all bales produced must be ginned by Namoi Cotton. You and your account manager will agree upon a ginning and seed price at the time of this commitment.
Balance of Crop contracts can also be completed for future seasons, locking in the gin price for a specified time (for example, three years) — the seed is then priced season by season. This protects you from any unexpected price rises in ginning.
