Benchmarking Australian wheat

Australian wheat exports often experience intense competition from Black Sea and Argentinian wheat based on price, as well as North American wheat based on functional baking performance. Benchmarking the Australian wheat used in SEA against competitor samples highlights the quality improvements required to enhance Australia’s competitive position.

Wheat quality comparisons include grain physical properties, flour milling performance, flour analysis including dough rheological testing, end-product testing, and blending studies at different ratios.

Completed (March 2025)

We submitted a progress report to ATMAC in January 2025.
We presented selected preliminary insights at the GRDC Research Updates in Perth in February 2025.
Between November 2024 and March 2025, we collected samples from Canada, USA, Argentina and Brazil.
In March 2025, we have completed 2024-25 evaluations of the Australian crop samples.

Scheduled (June 2025)

Regular project updates and meetings with Grains Australia.
Evaluation and milling of samples collected from other origins.
