What is the NGR?
The National Grower Register (NGR) is an Industry initiative involving two leading grain companies: ABB and GrainCorp. These companies have joined forces to develop and implement a centralised, national registration system that is designed to give growers access to multiple grain handlers and marketers across Australia using a single delivery card. The two partners service 85% of Australia’s grain growers and own 95% of bulk handling facilities in the Eastern and Southern states of Australia. The NGR system has been developed to minimise paperwork and administration for growers and duplication of data records and details across the industry, thereby streamlining the processes involved in delivering and trading grain. As NGR is purely a centralised registration system, any queries or communication regarding grain pricing, payment, pools, facility operation, quality control or classification will still need to be directed to your bulk handler(s) and/or marketer(s).
