The commitment by the Grains Research and Development Corporation to invest $17.5 million in Grains Australia over four years to address market value chain issues has been welcomed by GrainGrowers Chair Rhys Turton.
Mr Turton said GrainGrowers is proud to have been involved in the establishment of Grains Australia.
“Grain growers now have an organisation that can conduct industry good services and functions, and this significant investment by GRDC into GA will provide it with the resources to drive industry competitiveness and profitability.”
“To continue to service our customers and respond to market trends, the supply chain needs to effectively access information on changing market preferences.”
“Given the changing marketplace and the challenges in supply chain logistics facing the industry, it is important to maximise industry investment, and this funding is a positive move in a critical area of operation.”
Mr Turton said he looked forward to continuing working collaboratively with Grains Australia to ensure positive outcomes for industry members.
