Grain Logistics 2011

Grain Logistics 2011
15th - 16th March 2010 | Rendezvous Hotel Melbourne

Assessing the planning, funding & delivery of an efficient & sustainable grain transport network

Australia is the world's third largest grain exporter. Covering every state of Australia, grain growers occupy over 20 million hectares of productive land and earn almost $6.5 billion a year on the world market.

A predicted rebound for Australia's agriculture sector and promising crop forecasts have heralded calls for urgent upgrades to the grain transport network. Now is the time of opportunity and action as Government and the private sector work together to ensure that the Australian grains industry has every opportunity to capitalize on these favourable times.

It's been over 2 years since deregulation and suppliers and traders are now in a position to strategically plan for upcoming and future harvests. Have your say in this planning debate by joining industry stakeholders to discuss what really matters.

Grain Logistics 2010 will examine grain freight supply chains in order to identify sustainable solutions to efficiently move grain from farm to customer.
