Map of Australian Grain-beltAustralia is a major player in the international wheat, barley and canola industry producing on average, 30 million tonnes of grain each year.

Due to Australia’s large cropping area and small population, Australia is a major source of quality wheat, barley and canola to international markets.

The majority of grain in Australia is grown by large, professional, family owned operations who have been farming the land for generations.

Australia’s reputation for quality grain, economic and political stability and proximity to key markets, provides an excellent opportunity for grain investment and long term procurement of grain stocks.

 

Grain Co-Production

Grain Co-Production (GCP) involves partnering farmers with investors to grow crops and is effectively an extension to the principals of share farming. Investors provide the funds to grow wheat, barley and canola crops and farmers provide the land, equipment, inputs and expertise. The risks and rewards of growing the crop are shared by the farmer and investor, with farmers provided with incentives to outperform agreed benchmarks. Read more.

 

Grain Marketing

In addition to providing farmers with income protection through up front, non-recourse funding, participating in GCP is also a commitment to participating in AACL Pty Ltd's (AACL) grain marketing.

GCP grain is managed by a team of experienced grain marketers at AACL in partnership with the trading team at Glencore Grain. The teams work together to achieve the marketing objective of ensuring the best possible return to farmers and investors. Read more.

 

Land Project

AACL has developed a land investment project which will acquire Australian agricultural land primarily for large scale production of grains and oilseeds. The Land Project will partner with farmers, which AACL believes is the best model for long term land investment and management in Australia.

The investment structure can be flexible to suit the investor’s requirements and long term grain off-take agreements can be negotiated as part of the investment if desired. Read more.
