STOCK JOURNAL | Spilt grains as Grain Producers SA withdraws membership from national body

Stock Journal has reported that Grain Producers Australia has reaffirmed its national advocacy role following decisions by Grain Producers SA and NSW Farmers to withdraw their memberships.

In a statement, GPA said its mandate to represent grain growers across national policy and industry frameworks remains unchanged.

“Grain Producers Australia has recognised representative functions within national policy frameworks that provide for a clear and consistent grower voice,” the statement said.

GPA outlined its ongoing role across key areas including engagement with government, the Grains Research and Development Corporation, Plant Health Australia, the National Residue Survey, and as a signatory to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed.

The organisation said it would continue to progress priorities on behalf of growers regardless of membership changes.

“GPA will continue representing grain growers nationally, regardless of membership, and progressing priorities that support a profitable and resilient grains industry.”
