Grain Freight and Supply Chains
GrainGrowers will advocate for adequate planning, investment & regulatory settings to underpin strategic assets & lower supply chain costs.
Summary
Freight costs account for 30% of the price of grain at port. Australia's global competitiveness is limited by the cost of transporting grain and efficient supply chains are critical for future industry success. GrainGrowers will drive an agenda to improve access to and efficiency of the grain supply chain.
Port Access Code
A mandatory Port Access Code regime managed by the ACCC will encourage transparency in the market and ensure a sufficient level of competition at Australia's grain ports during the early stages of deregulation.
Australia's Grain Freight Challenge
The Australian grains industry needs governments on all levels to refocus efforts on regional areas to ensure our grains industry remains globally competitive.
