GrainGrowers has today launched a comprehensive report shedding light on the significant implications of the upcoming United States presidential election for Australian grain growers. “While the US election may be taking place half a world away at a time when GrainGrowers members are flat out harvesting, it is vitally important that potential changes in the trade landscape are recognised and fully considered,” says GrainGrowers CEO Shona Gawel. In response to rising trade risks, GrainGrowers is calling on the Australian Government to take proactive measures, particularly by diversifying trade partnerships and deepening engagement with Southeast Asia. As the report highlights, Southeast Asia is a vital region for Australian grain exports and presents significant growth opportunities.
