Well that’s that! The last of Australia’s major grain marketers and handlers looks set to be sold off to a foreign entity.
Graincorp holds a number of strategic assets. These include the largest grain storage infrastructure network in Eastern Australia and grain processing assets which produce around 35% of Australia’s malt, 40% of domestically produced canola oil and 35% of Australia’s flour. With ABB Ltd and AWB Ltd no longer Aussie-owned, the investment universe for direct-listed exposure to soft commodities has diminished, particularly for grains which are one of Australia’s largest agricultural export commodities.
