24 Grain Logistics Taskforce Report
8.0 ConclusionThe grain industry has undergone signifi cant changesin the past few years. These changes, including abolitionof the wheat export ‘single desk’ and the increasein export grain marketers to 27, increased on-farmstorage, the more recent development of local grainco-operatives, increased use of trucks for grain transportand increased containerisation of grain have all led toan increasingly complex grain supply chain. Combinedwith record harvests arising from good rainfalls, thegrain logistics supply chain from farms to ports hasbeen signifi cantly tested.It is apparent that increased coordination is requiredacross all sectors of the grain supply chain to improveinfrastructure utilisation and transport capacity. Therecommendations attached to this report, developedby the Grain Logistics Taskforce after extensiveindustry consultation, should greatly assist improvingthe effi ciency of the grain transport task.ConsultationsAlliance of Councils for Rail Freight DevelopmentAustralian Bulk AllianceAustralian Quarantine and Inspection ServiceAWB/CargillBungeCBHDepartment of Primary IndustriesEl ZorroEmeraldGlencoreGrainCorpGrainCorp (Geelong)Municipal Association of VictoriaPacifi c NationalPort of PortlandRiordansVicRoadsVictorian Farmers FederationVictorian Transport AssociationVicTrackViterraV/LineWimmera Regional Transport GroupGrain Logistics Taskforce Report 25
