On the 17th February 2010 the representatives of the Grains Industry from across Australia met to consider the Business Plan for the restructure of the National Grain Industry Representative Body

All grain producers and grain grower groups, be they representative or productivity based, are invited to read and comment on the contents of the business plan.

Input to the Business Plan

The Business Plan documents are publicly available, and comments will continue to be sought and received.


We encourage all parties to provide feedback, input and suggestions. However. please assist by including in any submission the following;

  • What the suggestion or submission is seeking should be clearly outlined
  • How it improves an area or in general the proposed Plan
  • What benefits or advantages are contained in the suggested change
  • How these suggestions will benefit grain producers of Australia.

Input can be made via email to GCA@grainscouncil.com or to alan.umbers@bigpond.com

We have already received very good suggestions which have been incorporated into version 5 of the business plan. These are merely alterations to some items within the plan, and have not altered the basic principles. the 1 page summary is unchanged.
