Our Independent and Transparent Approach

Our independence is vitally important to ensure the market operates efficiently, without bias, to encourage more buyers to try and buy Australian grain.

Our aim is to improve farm gate returns by creating a more efficient market where all supply chain participants benefit.

We operate an independent and secure grain exchange enabling all buyers, sellers, and their agents, to bid or offer grain at their price in an open and transparent market with secure settlement.

Our Proven Track Record

The exchange ensures a robust digital trail of all orders and transactions giving all participants confidence whilst ensuring grain trades at its FULL VALUE.

Clear Grain Exchange was owned and operated by NZX Limited, who operate the New Zealand Stock Exchange, from 2009 to 2016. The exchange then privatised and are now 30% owned by leading Australian agribusiness Elders Limited.

The principles and knowledge in running an independent and secure exchange borne from NZX Limited continue to underpin the operations of Clear Grain Exchange today.

This ensures operations of the exchange are without bias and encourage as many buyers as possible to participate in trying to buy Australian grain.
