CropConnect

CropConnect is the largest online marketplace for grains across the east coast of Australia and brings growers and buyers together in an easy and convenient way to connect and trade online.  

The encrypted platform allows for more transparent trading across the industry and helps growers in Australia and buyers from around the world to view and compare a range of commodities to find the best price. Transaction options include cash, contract, pool, transfer, sustainable and secured/self-managed. 

Our CropConnect users are always in control. It’s always on, secure to use, and you can access CropConnect through the GrainCorp app on your smartphone or as a mobile-friendly site online.

Safe, secure and always in control 

We use strong encryption across CropConnect with authorised access, personal pins and additional security options for safer transactions online.

For growers, we protect their anonymity until the transaction is confirmed. There are options to set preferred buyers so growers can just transact with buyers they know and trust. During a curfew, which protects against overnight market moves between timezones, offers are not auto-matched or accepted by buyers. Growers can make offers and accept bids at all times.

Benefits of using the GrainCorp app

With our smartphone app you can trade anytime, anywhere and watch the market in real time. It’s a one-stop shop to monitor your holdings and market your grain from wherever you are, on mobile or tablet.
