EYRE Peninsula Co-operative Bulk Handling Limited (EPCBH) in South Australia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a new grain distribution and supply chain network using Iron Road’s planned rail and port facilities at Cape Hardy.

The pair will work collaboratively to establish a grains export business using the multi-commodity port.

A $210,000 Australian Government grant through the Farm Co-operatives and Collectives Pilot Program (Farming Together) was used to develop a project business case.

EPCBH plans to improve the competitiveness of the region’s grain industry by using a collaborative approach to enhance returns to growers and farm businesses.
