GTA CEO Pat O’Shannassy recently had the opportunity to present to a high-level delegation from Pakistan on the quality assurance systems that underpin Australia’s grain supply chain.
Pat outlined the critical role of GTA’s self-regulatory framework in supporting Australia’s reputation as a reliable supplier of quality grain. The presentation covered key elements, including:
- The Australian Grain Industry Code of Practice
- GTA Trading Standards and standard form contracts
- The independent GTA arbitration system
- Industry training and capability-building programs.
The engagement provided an important opportunity to reinforce the integrity, transparency and strength of Australia’s grain quality systems, key factors in maintaining market access and buyer confidence in export destinations such as Pakistan.
