Murray-Darling Basin Cotton (Narrabri / Moree NSW)
Murray-Darling Basin cotton (primary NSW districts: Narrabri — Namoi Valley; Moree — Gwydir Valley; Walgett; Queensland: Dalby, St George); Australia produces ~4-5% of global cotton exports from approximately 1,500 farms averaging 500-1,000 hectares each. Australian cotton is 100% machine-harvested, uses precision irrigation from Murray-Darling water licenses, and produces consistent high-staple, low-micronaire lint. The Murray-Darling Basin cotton sector is under chronic water policy pressure: the Basin Plan (2012, amended) limits water extractions to restore environmental flows, reducing irrigated cotton area over time. However, Australian cotton's premium market positioning and traceable sustainability certification (myBMP, Australian Cotton Sustainability Framework) command price premiums in Japanese and South Korean mill markets.
