According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported on the 27th, in the past 12 months, the drought situation in many planting areas in Australia has eased, especially in recent months, with abundant rainfall and floods in some places. Australia's cotton industry has also gradually recovered, the output has been more than four times that of the previous quarter, with an output value of 1.5 billion Australian dollars.
