Barley Exporting Act 2007

The Barley Exporting Act 2007 (external site) repeals the Barley Marketing Act 1993.

Growers will now have greater choice of grain marketers able to access the barley export market. Traders will need to be accredited by the Essential Services Commission of SA (ESCOSA) (external site).

You can find more information and advice about the new marketing system in the News section and in the SA Barley Bulletin (.PDF).
