What happens after harvest? Follow your grain’s journey from delivery to global dispatch.


At Wimpak, we’re often asked: “Where does my grain go once it leaves the farm? ”The answer is... everywhere. But before it reaches international buyers, it goes through a carefully managed grain export process right here in Minyip.


Whether you’re growing lentils, chickpeas or faba beans, turning your crop into export-ready grain involves more than just a receival docket. Here’s how we do it.



1. Grain Receival & Sampling

When your load arrives, we:

  • Conduct a full quality inspection

  • Take samples for grading and documentation

  • Allocate storage based on crop type and condition

This ensures everything entering the system is traceable, compliant, and ready for downstream handling.


2. Cleaning & Grading

Our facility is fitted with LMC equipment capable of cleaning 20+ tonnes per hour.We remove foreign material, separate by size and density, and prepare your grain to meet both domestic and international standards.

This step is critical for:

  • Achieving machine dressed (MD) export grade

  • Reducing contamination risk

  • Increasing marketability and price


3. Packing & Compliance

Once cleaned, we pack the product to suit:

  • Bulk in container (BIC)

  • 25kg or 50kg bags (with custom markings if required)


We also manage:

  • DAFF-authorised export inspections

  • Fumigation and certification

  • Weighbridge documentation


4. Export Coordination with ETG

As part of the ETG Australia network, Wimpak grain is connected to 45+ global markets.This means fewer delays, smoother container logistics, and real-time support across the entire grain supply chain.


Why It Matters

Clean, compliant grain travels further. The paddock to port process is about more than logistics—it’s about reputation. When you deliver to Wimpak, you’re trusting a team who knows what quality looks like, and who’s backed by a network that knows how to move it.
