New this harvest

It’s a modern, streamlined receival processing system.
FastWeigh reduces bottlenecks in the delivery process by reducing human intervention and the need to record data on paper. For this reason, it’s also more accurate.

It remembers your truck.
FastWeigh slashes operator input time by defaulting to the truck details from your last visit.

It (usually) runs on Smart Card technology.
Normally, FastWeigh automatically captures data from sampling equipment via a ‘smart’ card. When the truck driver arrives at the weighbridge, they’re handed a clipboard bearing a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip.

This chip becomes the digital carrier of delivery information as the truck progresses through the site, starting with sampling then gross weight and finally tare weight at the end of the delivery process.

But as part of our COVID-safe harvest plan this season, our staff will manually enter the truck registration into the system to mimick the action of the chip and make the process contactless.

Real-time notifications and market upload.
As each piece of new information is added, the chip ‘speaks’ with the GrainCorp app and CropConnect. The information is transferred instantly, meaning your action to store or sell is recognised in real time on the GrainCorp digital trading platform.

Plus, you receive alerts back on the farm via the GrainCorp app as your grain passes through sampling, gross and tare.

Reduced time from fewer touch points.
When our operator keys in your Grower Number, the system automatically populates the truck details from your last visit, potentially cutting down manual input time. This also ensures the accuracy of information and truck weight.

We take Australian grain and oilseeds to the world, serving customers as diverse as biscuit-makers in Myanmar to Schochu distillers in Japan, or noodle-makers in Indonesia.

Our trading desks in Sydney connect to customers through destination teams based in Singapore, Beijing and Delhi.

This connects your grain and oilseeds with customers throughout South-East Asia, the Middle East and the subcontinent.

This direct relationship with end users ensures we gain the complete picture on maximising the value of your crops.

Trading

Five trading hubs – based across four continents – generate a comprehensive perspective on global crop conditions and customer demand.

Our teams are digitally connected, collaborating on serving customer demand and managing financial and supply-chain risk to deliver the best possible price to the bin.

Rail

From source to port, our rail export program is unmatched on Australia’s east coast.

With one-way hauls averaging 1600km, our trains and grain carriages operate with high efficiency, from Mackay in north Queensland all the way to Portland, in south-west Victoria.

Investment in rail lines and new locomotives and carriages continue to slash cycle times from sites to port return.

Our new high-speed site in Yamala, Central Queensland, is a state-of-the-art example of the potential and power of rail grain haulage.

Ports

Our seven ports are export powerhouses.

It’s an impressive sweep of world-class facilities, from Mackay, Gladstone and Fisherman Islands in Queensland, to Newcastle and Port Kembla in New South Wales and Geelong and Portland in Victoria.

All feature high-speed rail receival and our innovative FastWeigh digital grain sampling and data collection technology.

In drought, our ports have reversed the GrainCorp supply chain, providing critical supply to domestic east coast users.

These ports are key to our efficient supply chain, delivering value to our growers and connecting them with overseas markets.

With harvest on the way, they’re primed to fill orders from our overseas customers.

Shipping

Our ocean freight managers and planners in Australia and Germany cover both sides of the Equator, using sophisticated planning and tracking tools.

We charter some 75 deep-sea vessels each year, moving almost 3 million tonnes of grain and oilseeds across all seven seas.

These journeys can be just five days or the six weeks it takes Australian Canola to make it to Europe.

You’ll find GrainCorp chartered ships in the North Atlantic, the Black Sea, the South China Sea or transiting the Suez Canal in Egypt.
