Australia : CGA Forum and Cotton Australia AGM on 28-29 Aug

August 28 and 29, will be an important date for Cotton Australia and industry leaders alike when Narrabri hosts the CGA Forum and the Cotton Australia annual general meeting.

The CGA Forum and the AGM come at a time when the Australian cotton industry faces some of its toughest challenges yet. This means it is essential that these events be well attended in order for the best range of ideas to be heard and discussed.

There will be a wide-ranging list of topics to discuss at the forum, including water trading, Cotton Australia''s financial position, an industry-wide hail insurance scheme and future plans for BMP.

Water trading will look at the future for water in Australia. Who will own the water? How will it be traded? How do we ensure water access equity and sustainability?

Cotton Australia''s long-term financial strategy for managing the current climatic downturn will also be discussed in detail, as will a possible industry-wide hail insurance scheme.
