US Cotton Tour 2019 Highlights

Sunday 28 July – Saturday 10 August, 2019

The US cotton sector is the world’s largest exporter of cotton, and the third largest producer.

Recap Rabobank’s unique tour through the US cotton belt, which used our global networks to reach out to our US counterparts for the 13 day tour that took place across eight states.

Tour Highlights

In July 2019, a group of cotton producers and Rabobank staff travelled through the US to learn from leading US cotton producers, researchers and industry experts about developments in irrigation techniques, gene technology and the latest in machinery releases.

They covered:

  • Potential efficiency gains made through gene science, emerging technology and resources management.
  • America’s leading cotton producers and their business operations.
  • Water management and irrigation techniques, use efficiencies and innovations in Nebraska.
  • The US cotton supply chain; who is buying and wearing cotton and what are they looking for from Australian cotton.
  • What the buyers, producers, market analysts and consumers think is the future of cotton.
