AACL was founded in Western Australia in 1997 to investigate ways to assist Australian grain farmers to better manage their production risks and to provide farmers with access to investor funds in line with other major Australian industries.
Since 1999 AACL has developed and operated a unique product known as Grain Co-Production (GCP) in order to achieve these objectives.
Grain Co-Production involves partnering farmers with investors to grow crops and has evolved significantly since 2004 in response to the requirements of both farmers and investors. Grain Co-Production continues to be the cornerstone product offered to farmers by AACL.
AACL is the interface between farmers and investors and the success of Grain Co-Production in WA has led to the national launch of the product in 2008, with both wheat, barley and canola contracts now available.
In addition to AACL's head office in Perth and regional offices in WA, AACL has an office in Melbourne and regional staff in NSW, VIC and SA.
AACL is also offering farmers more than just Grain Co-Production, with the development of new products in grain marketing, land acquisition and carbon credits.
Since 2004 AACL has experienced rapid growth of its corner stone product - Grain Co-Production. The majority of the growth has occurred in WA and for wheat production. In 2008 AACL offered Grain Co-Production to select farmers in NSW, VIC and SA and also offered a barley contract for the first time.
The total investment by AACL in 2009 was $90 million, contracting 235 farmer clients to grow approximately 480,000 tonnes of wheat, barley and canola.

AACL features on ABC's Landline - 22 February 2009 Landline - Farming for Profit In the world of high finance it is fair to say that agriculture is rarely regarded as glamour stock, 'all sausage no sizzle.' However with the slide in sharemarkets and talk of world-wide recession, returns from farming now do not look so bad after all.
