Queensland cotton hopes dashed by Tariff Board review
The Tanff Board sixth report on Queensland cotton shows limited success from government support over 25 years. Yields rose from 40 lb to about 96 lb per acre between 1930s and 1940s, with 163 lb potential cited for dry farming. The report warns high bounty rates alone won’t sustain expansion and stresses cost competitiveness and permanent economic viability.
