Cottonseed marketing: Access gin for seed contracts
Namoi Cotton offers logistical strategies designed to create cost efficiencies for growers. Trading and marketing Australian cottonseed, we’re able to purchase your cottonseed at competitive prices.
Our established relationships are a credit to our reputation as a premium supplier, our accurate documentation, and our timely shipping. These relationships allow us to offer you a range of gin for seed contracts.
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.
