Policy & Industry Issues
We represent the interests of Australian grain growers in these areas
GrainGrowers works to develop rigorous, transparent, and evidence-based policy positions to improve the sustainability and profitability of the Australian grain industry.
Through thought leadership and evidence based policy development, GrainGrowers sets the agenda for the Australian grains industry.
GrainGrowers is a Representative Organisation (RO) to the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and works to ensure that GRDC investments are in the best interests of levy payers.
GrainGrowers' Priority Themes
Growers shape our policy positions
Australian growers are welcome to provide input into policy at any time, via email, phone, or contact with their local Grower Engagement Officer or National Policy Group representative. GrainGrowers members can give feedback on issues via Annual Policy Survey and micro surveys.
GrainGrowers engages with growers in many ways to ensure key issues are captured. GrainGrowers works hard to keep members updated on policy outcomes and align policy with activities and events that benefit growers.
The National Policy Group (NPG) is made up of 15 grower representatives from around Australia. The NPG meets several times per year and provides input into GrainGrowers’ policy positions.
Developing policy at GrainGrowers is about being proactive and responsive to issues that have a direct impact on growers. Our process includes opportunities for direct input from individual producers via our annual surveys, events and membership.
