## The GrainCorp Grain Supply Chain 

Until a few years ago, GrainCorp was simply a storage and handling company. The chart below illustrates our developing role, as we become a leading Australian agribusiness, providing producers and buyers with solutions in the grain supply chain. 

## Research and Development 

GrainCorp with SunPrime breeds some of the highest yielding hybrid wheat varieties in production. 80 per cent of SunPrime’s pre-tax profits are re-invested in research and development.

GrainCorp contributes one per cent of its annual after tax profits to rural and regional communities via the GrainCorp Foundation. 

## Processing 

GrainCorp sees processing as an opportunity to further integrate and grow its business.
