Wheat Marketing Arrangements
The report of the Cole inquiry has clear implications for the operation of the single desk system for Australian wheat exports and in particular the role of AWB Limited, AWB International and the Wheat Export Authority in relation to wheat marketing.
Now that the report has been received, the Government will give urgent consideration to the future of marketing operations for the export of Australian wheat. It will announce its proposals for the way forward shortly.
In formulating its response, the Government's dominant concern will be the interests of Australian wheat growers.
