Tour 4 – Geelong value chain

Geelong is a major port for Victoria and has several large companies involved in the agricultural supply chain. This tour will focus on the supply chain in the grains industry. We will visit the input side at Incitec Fertilizers’ new blending plant at Lara just north of Geelong. The second part moves down to the port of Geelong where we will view the GrainCorp export terminal to see their receival system and how grain is marshalled for export. A visit to Barrett Burston Malting is also on the agenda to see the latest in malthouse technology. To complete the supply chain, the end product from the barley industry will be available for testing at a local boutique brewery.
