Calculating Cotton Gross Margins Accurately
Some crops produce more than one saleable product. P2PAgri lets you track each product independently: separate yields, separate prices, separate sales. You still get one clear gross margin per hectare.
How Do I Track Crops That Produce Multiple Products?
Some crops produce more than one saleable product — cotton gives you lint and seed, canola may produce oil and meal. P2PAgri lets you track each product independently with its own yield, pricing, and sales, while combining them into a single gross margin for the crop. This gives you a true picture of total crop profitability.
One Crop, Two Products, Tracked Properly
Cotton doesn’t sell as “cotton.” It sells as lint and seed: two distinct products with different units, different prices, and different buyers. P2PAgri is the first farm management platform to handle this properly.
Set up your cotton enterprise once, and P2PAgri automatically tracks lint and seed as separate line items across your entire business, from expected prices through to actual yields, sales, and retained crop.
Independent Yields in the Right Units
Lint is measured in bales per hectare. Seed is measured in tonnes per hectare. Mixing these into a single yield figure has never made sense, and P2PAgri doesn’t.
Each product gets its own yield entry with the correct unit, per paddock, per production cycle. When you’re recording harvest results, you enter lint yield and seed yield separately, giving you accurate production data you can actually use for benchmarking and planning.
Separate Pricing & Sales Tracking
Lint and seed move through different markets at different prices. P2PAgri tracks pricing for each product independently (expected price per bale for lint, expected price per tonne for seed) along with separate sales commissions and retained crop quantities.
Use the built-in crop product calculator to model quality-adjusted pricing for each product, so your budget reflects what you’ll actually receive.
One Combined Gross Margin
While yields and prices are tracked separately, your gross margin is calculated as one combined figure per hectare. P2PAgri adds lint income and seed income together, then deducts your variable costs against the shared cropping area.
The result is a single, accurate gross margin that reflects the true profitability of your cotton enterprise, not just one half of it.
Flows Through Every Report
Multi-product tracking isn’t bolted on as an afterthought. It’s woven through every report in P2PAgri: Crop Production Summary, Price & Production, Gross Margin, and Sales Summary.
Each report correctly separates lint and seed where detail matters, and combines them where a whole-of-enterprise view is needed. When you copy data into scenarios or roll into a new season, all product-level detail carries across automatically.
Built for Cotton. Ready for More.
Today, multi-product tracking supports both irrigated and dryland cotton, the crop where split-product management matters most to Australian broadacre farmers.
The architecture is built to extend to other dual-product crops as demand grows. If your operation needs it, P2PAgri is ready.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Currently, multi-product tracking is available for irrigated cotton and dryland cotton, splitting each into lint and seed. The system is designed to support additional multi-product crops in future releases.
No. When you select cotton as your crop, P2PAgri automatically creates lint and seed as sub-products with the correct yield and price units. You just enter your numbers.
Your gross margin combines income from all products (lint + seed) and deducts variable costs against the shared cropping area. You get one gross margin per hectare that reflects total enterprise profitability.
Yes. When you copy a reporting cycle or create a scenario, all product-level prices, yields, and sales data are copied across automatically.
