Bunge has achieved its biggest ever January of shipping, exporting more than 940,000 tonnes from across its six South Australian port terminals.
Following on from a bumper December, the company has now shipped nearly 2 million tonnes of grain this season.
Bunge Senior Manager Supply Chain, Derek Robjohns says executing a strong early shipping programme delivers benefits to our farmer customers.
“Our focus is on moving grain to market in the first half of the season before the northern hemisphere harvest begins to meet demand and assisting in creating value for farmers,” Derek says.
“Our ability to maximise our supply chain to export large tonnages during this peak period has seen us break our January shipping record after also achieving our third biggest December of shipping across our SA ports. Our Outer Harbor and Port Giles terminals also individually reached their biggest ever January of exports.
“Additionally, we’ve shipped a record volume of lentils since October, as bulk lentil shipments from our network continue to increase to support farmers growing the commodity.”
Bunge’s exports so far this season include 600,000 tonnes from its Adelaide ports, 530,000 tonnes from its Yorke Peninsula ports and 790,000 tonnes from its Eyre Peninsula ports.
“All six of our ports have been busy, and we have now loaded more than 45 vessels on behalf of seven different exporters,” Derek says.
“This has delivered South Australian and western Victorian farmers’ wheat, barley, canola and pulses to end users in 23 countries across Africa, South America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Pacific.”
Derek says successfully performing this task is a testament to the hard work of our employees and logistics partners.
“Our employees continue to do a fantastic job helping us safely and efficiently connect local farmers to end users; receiving and outturning grain at our upcountry sites, ensuring it meets food safety and quality requirements, and loading vessels at our terminals,” Derek says.
“It’s also a credit to our logistics partners who play a key role in moving grain via truck and train to port to help us meet demand.
“With a further four million tonnes of shipping currently booked for this season, as well as strong domestic demand, we are looking forward to continuing to work together to deliver our farmer customers’ high-quality grain around the world.”
With the 2025/26 harvest wrapped up, deliveries to the Bunge network have now slowed. Farmers delivered 220,000 tonnes during January taking total receivals for the season to over 5.5 million tonnes.
For farmers with grain remaining on farm, Bunge is offering postharvest delivery options at select sites, with its postharvest procedure in place from Monday 9 February.
