Cotton Research and Development Corporation

(CRDC)
Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry
The Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) is a statutory corporation, established under the Primary Industries Research and Development Act 1989 and is the declared cotton industry body under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024. CRDC was established by the Australian Government to work with industry to invest in research, development and extension (RD&E) for a more profitable, sustainable and dynamic cotton industry. CRDC is primarily funded by a statutory levy paid by cotton growers on the sale of cotton fibre, disbursed under the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Disbursement Act 2024, and Australian Government funds for eligible R&D. CRDC is based in Narrabri, the centre of one of Australia's major cotton growing regions.
