Growers endorse myBMP as the industry commits to making it even better

Cotton growers from around the country have united in their support for the industry’s best practice program myBMP as efforts gain pace to more closely align the program to the supply of sustainably certified cotton to the market.

One of the key focus areas for the Australian Cotton Strategic Roadmap is meeting global consumer demands for sustainably certified cotton with a commitment to demonstrate the world-class sustainability of our high-quality cotton.

With the number of myBMP farm certifications almost doubling over the past two and a half years, a number of certified growers have spoken out about the benefits of the program.

Richie Quigley from Quigley Farms in Trangie said when he first looked at myBMP he discovered that most requirements were simply what was required by law.

Richie’s focus on safety was a significant part of the myBMP process. “We’ve always had a huge focus on safety. If we can’t do a job safely, we won’t do it,” he noted.

The certification provided a good opportunity to review and refine existing practices. “It was a worthwhile exercise that helped us improve behind-the-scenes business practices,” Richie added.
