California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association

Non-profit OrganizationsCalifornia, United States2-10 Employees

The California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association comprises two nonprofit trade groups that advocate for cotton industry members in legal, legislative and regulatory affairs in California. The organizations are supported by voluntary dues: growers pay per bale produced, while ginners pay per bale ginned, with historical rates of 25 cents per bale in 2013 (based on the 2012 crop) for both groups. The Ginners Association represents all 24 California ginning firms and supports 37 operating cotton gins in the 2013 season, while the Growers Association represents approximately 750 cotton growers statewide who collectively account for the state's total cotton production.

Based in Fresno, California, the association is a small, regional non-profit entity focused on industry governance, policy, and professional development for its members. In 2026, Adriane Carbonel was announced as Chair of the Board of Directors, with the year also featuring events such as the 2026 Ginners School & Managerial Seminar hosted in Corcoran and a partnership with AgSafe to offer harassment-prevention training.
