Kay said the launch of Cotton Jobs Australia demonstrated the industry’s commitment to solving the challenges laid before it. “This season we’re forecasting a crop in excess of 4.5 million bales, which means our growers will be very busy producing our sustainable, high-quality cotton. That means our workforce shortages will really start to bite unless we get applicants filling the jobs that are available on farm,” Kay added.
