Viterra has completed its largest wheat shipment since the 2021-22 season, loading 71,500 tonnes of wheat at its Outer Harbor terminal in Adelaide. The wheat, sourced from South Australian growers, is destined for end users in the Middle East.
Despite a below-average harvest in South Australia, the shipment marks the largest to ever be exported from the terminal, underscoring the continued demand for local grain. Viterra’s general manager of supply chain, Derek Robjohns, highlighted that the harvest exceeded expectations, with high-quality crops produced despite low rainfall.
The shipment demonstrates the strength of Viterra’s supply chain, including its rail transport capabilities, which efficiently moved the grain to the deepwater Outer Harbor port. So far this season, Viterra has loaded over 900,000 tonnes of grain, with shipments to 15 countries.
In addition to its storage and handling services, Viterra is the largest buyer of grain in South Australia. The company’s investments in the local supply chain have contributed over €1.1 billion to the South Australian economy, reinforcing its position as a key player in the region’s agriculture sector.
