Trade & Market Access

One of Grains Australia’s roles is to maintain and improve access to current markets and gain access tonew markets for Australian-grown grain. We take a long-term strategic approach to trade and market access.

Strategic Focus

New markets

Increasing value

Greater market diversification, with greater benefits communicated - not just for Australia, but the customer. Credible and trusted opportunity analysis, including better understanding of the dynamics (eg. production, trade, and demand, including domestic versus overseas trade) and strategic trends (eg. greater foresight into measures including sanitary, phytosanitary, and non-tariff measures).

Improvement

Reducing cost

Reduced trade impediments through improved systems being in place, with a documented approach and greater ability to deliver evidence-based economics.

Maintenance

Not losing a market

Government’s point of contact on international grain trade matters, including improved evidence-driven justification and a forward-thinking approach.

Strategic

No surprises

Strategic responses to trade and market access issues, ensuring evidence is presented outlining benefits across the value chain.

Understanding our markets

An important part of Grains Australia’s strategic approach to trade andmarket access is greater engagement and a deeper understanding of what end-users in those markets need, and want, and the challenges they face.

Grains Australia aims to use these market insights to analyse potential opportunities, estimate the cost of trade impediments, provide strategic responses to trade and market access matters, and develop and support relevant projects and activities to create value for producers.

Utilising this analysis and in collaboration with industry, Grains Australia provides evidence to government bodies and destination markets of the value of trade with Australia.
