Quality cotton starts at the field

At Australian Food & Fibre (AFF), owning and managing every step of the supply chain means we maintain control of our product, starting at the field and ending with quality Australian cotton sold under the Auscott product brand.

Marketing with AFF

AFF cotton is taken to market under the Auscott product brand, a trusted and reliable supplier of quality Australian cotton, resulting in excellent trading relationships with agents and mill customers around the world.

AFF provides a range of marketing options and products for our grower and mill customers, providing up-to-date information to keep customers informed with market trends and developments.

In addition to cotton, AFF provides marketing options for cottonseed, which is sold to the domestic and export markets. AFF is constantly monitoring these markets in order to access the best opportunities.
