flag Australian farmers are storing more grain on-farm to cut costs and boost profits, reducing reliance on traditional handlers.

flag Australian grain farmers, especially in eastern states, are increasingly storing harvests on-farm due to cost savings, logistical efficiency, and better marketing control. flag Despite a near-record 31 million-tonne crop, bulk handler GrainCorp expects only 11–12 million tonnes in receipts—down from 13.3 million last year—reflecting a shift away from traditional handling networks. flag Farmers are investing in silos, grain bags, and bunkers to bypass delays, reduce transport costs, and capture export premiums by selling directly. flag The trend, particularly strong in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, signals a move toward a North American-style model with greater on-farm storage and control over timing and pricing.
