Australian Grain Industry Code of Practice - Pulse Australia

Industry Endorsement
The development of the Australian Grain Industry Code of Conduct
has been facilitated by Grain Trade Australia on behalf of the
industry and with the financial support of the Australian Government
Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry as part of the
wheat marketing transitional funding assistance measures for the
new wheat export marketing arrangements that commenced on
1 July 2008. The Code is endorsed by a range of industry
organisations.
The Australian Grain Industry Code of Conduct is intended to
cover all industry participants in the Australian grain industry.
The Code is a voluntary code and does not imply any contractual
obligations. The Code has been designed to promote best practices
and continually enhance behaviour of industry participants.
To further the interests of the industry as a whole, a list of
organisations and businesses who endorse the Code and
commit to promoting the Code to their members is published
on the Grain Trade Australia website www.graintrade.org.au
