BULK SCHEME OVERVIEW
Purpose: To attest that an exporter is a fit and proper company
to export bulk wheat from Australia
The Bulk Scheme does not in anyway:– Regulate shipments of wheat in bags or containers (<50 tonnes) – Indemnify exporters – Provide any guarantee the exporter will remain financially viable
WEA does not in anyway regulate the quality, variety or grade specifications of wheat exported from Australia
