Plum Grove

About

Under the service manager model Plum Grove accumulates cargoes for major end users Salim Group, Mitsui and Seaboard who together represent a pool of significant consumptive demand for Australian wheat and other grains in Australia's most important export markets.

Plum Grove operates in all grain exporting states of Australia and also has a grain storage, container packing and trading operation based in NSW and a regional trading office in Melbourne. This is managed under the Agrigrain brand. Agrigrain, with physical storage locations in Narromine, NSW and Coonamble, NSW, provides in excess of 300,000mt of grain storage with a principle focus on containerisation of grain for export through Port Botany in Sydney, but also offers significant seed and fertiliser supplies to the domestic market. In addition the Agrigrain Melbourne office covers containerised exports from Victoria and South Australia.

In terms of volumes, Plum Grove in the 2014/2015 season became Australia's third largest wheat exporter and the second largest wheat exporter in Western Australia. Plum Grove's combined with Mitsui's exported tonnage is seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
