Value-driven,
impact-focused

Founded in 1996 in South Australia, Australian Grain Export (AGE) has a proud legacy of supporting Australian growers by connecting their grain with markets worldwide.

AGE has led the export of containerised pulses, particularly lentils, transforming them into key staples for growers and food processors.

Building on this success, we expanded into cereals, establishing AGE as a major player in pulse and cereal exports. This strategy supports the sustainability of Australian grain farming, offering diverse opportunities and reducing reliance on volatile markets.

Today, we’re focused on adding value for growers by expanding our global presence in grain markets.

Pioneering Australia's grain export industry

Through diligent market development efforts, Australian-origin pulses have become highly esteemed and sought after in many countries with a high consumption of plant-based protein, mainly attributable to AGE’s pioneering work.

Over the past 30 years, AGE has evolved into a vertically integrated, value-added multi-grain enterprise with a significant global presence driven by strategic investments and sharp foresight.

Our two cutting-edge grain facilities in Dublin, South Australia's Mid North and Rupanyup in Victoria's Wimmera region, are central to our value-adding strategy.

Expanding markets through innovation and value-adding

These investments are geared towards expanding markets for the grains we have championed over the decades.

By adding value to the products grown by grain growers, rather than simply exporting raw materials for lower-value applications, we continue to meet the evolving demands of global grain markets.

Partnering with us grants customers unparalleled access to our extensive knowledge of the Australian grain industry and our steadfast reputation for integrity.

This translates into more consistent returns for Australian grain growers who tirelessly cultivate our nation’s grains.
