Eastern Australia's largest grain handler, GrainCorp, has announced a restructure of its country storage and logistics and ports businesses as it looks to capitalise on the deregulated bulk wheat export market.
GrainCorp managing director Mark Irwin said the restructure would better position the company's storage, rail and port assets to take advantage of opportunities emerging from the removal of the bulk wheat export monopoly last July, expected to be a talking point at the conference.
"Regional managers will be better placed to capture new business opportunities as GrainCorp expands its range of supply chain services," Mr Irwin said.
"The ports management structure has changed, following recent initiatives at Sunshine (Melbourne), Portland and Geelong port terminals to bring about the desired levels of best practice."
The current storage and logistics divisions and regions will be combined into six new regions.
