Tender Details
Tender Description
There has been a substantial increase in the capacity and speed of execution within Australin grains supply chains over recent years. Record grain harvests are now processed faster and stored efficiently, either on-farm or at upcountry receival sites, enabling large volumes to be delivered swiftly to both international and domestic markets shortly after harvest. This rapid processing capacity has facilitated a quicker response to market demands, particularly allowing stakeholders to capitalise on early price premiums available in international markets before the northern hemisphere’s grain harvest commences.
Engaging with key industry stakeholders, GRDC has gathered practical insights on how to further enhance the capacity and cost-efficiency of Australia’s grain supply chains. Summary recommendations as a result of internal and external consultation covered the following themes:
1. Ensuring effective, least-cost grain paths are developed and maintained.
2. Encouraging greater automation and innovation in supply chains.
3. Ensuring accurate information capture.
