About Us

Cliff White commenced his cotton career in 1976 with the then Ralli Bros & Coney (now Cargill Cotton) based in Liverpool, England. Following 15 years with Ralli, Cliff joined Queensland Cotton in 1991 and was responsible for the buying and selling of the company’s Australian, US and Brazilian cotton.
In May 2007 Cliff moved to the United States as Senior Vice President for Olam Cotton directing the company’s marketing, ginning and warehousing operations, and the continued expansion of the company’s US cotton business. After 21 years with Queensland Cotton/Olam he resigned in August 2012 and joined Omnicotton Inc in Sept 2012 to establish an Australian trading business.
Cliff has held numerous industry positions having been a past President of the International Cotton Association, the Australian Cotton Shippers Association and Texas Cotton Association. He is the current President of the Australian Cotton Shippers Association.
While the office in Brisbane concentrates mainly on Australian cotton, it also plays a key role in supporting the head office in Texas by providing market coverage and allowing the company to operate 24/7 in what has become a truly global market. With the world’s major cotton consuming markets in Asia it is increasingly important to have representation in the region and this office provides communication in the same time zone.
