Grains Australia is invested in the resources, engagement and skills to ensure a strategic, structured whole-of-industry approach to grains trade and market access.
Grains Market Access Council
The Grains Market Access Council (GMAC) takes a cross-commodity and whole-of-industry approach to identifying strategic opportunities and predicting risks.
GMAC includes industry representatives and experts from across the supply chain and representatives from each of the Commodity Councils to ensure cross-commodity perspectives.
