System Diversity

Australian port‐based supply chains operate under different contractual and logistical models. Consolidated/Closed Loop Supply Chains CBH – Grain Express & Viterra Export Select Buyers receive a notional entitlement to grain and cede responsibility to BHCs for the management of logistics BHCs contract service providers to move all export tonnes Fragmented Supply Chain East coast states Buyers receive physical entitlement and are responsible for management of logistics Exporters coordinate and contractually purchase logistical services to export tonnes Closed loop models are export facing.

To be able to export in bulk from Australia a shipper needs to determine its trading strategy

Physical/Paper Export/Domestic Bulk Export / Containers State and Port/s Matching Grains and customer demand

Strategy will drive accumulation and sales and lead to supply chain activity including:

Which assets do I want access to and when? Timing is a critical aspect.

Accessing Services – Contracts

Once the strategy is clear the supply chain Contracts and relationships must be established

Phytosanitary inspection and certification of grain and plant products

‘Three Tick’ process of phytosanitary inspection

• Registration of export establishment.

Regular audits and maintenance of hygiene, and pest control measures

• Inspection of transport units (vessel holds,

containers, conveyors, etc.) prior to loading export compliant goods

• Inspection/assessment of goods, with nil

tolerance for live injurious insects and must meet importing country requirements

Market access conditions

• Exporter to check the MICoR database to verify if the commodity can be

exported.

• If listed on MICoR, check any certification requirements such as seed

analysis, fumigation etc.

• If importing country requirements are not listed in MICoR Plants, export

may be permitted but the conditions are unknown to Plant Exports. You should then contact the National Plant Protection Organisation of the importing country to obtain an import permit or official written notification advising the conditions of importation.

1 2 3

22/05/2020 2

Export permit

If your product is a prescribed good or if the importing country requires a phytosanitary certificate, an export permit is required to be issued by a department authorised officer prior to the export of the goods. If the importing country does not require a phytosanitary certificate and the goods are prescribed an export permit is still required prior to the export

• f the consignment.

Part 4 Notice of intention to export 15 Exporter to be responsible for goods The person identified as the exporter in a notice of intention to export is responsible for ensuring that sections that apply to the prescribed goods are complied with from the time the declaration specified in subsection 14.2 is made until the time the goods are exported.

Export Control (Plants and Plant Products) Order 2011

Electronic documentation (EXDOC)

• The department uses an electronic export documentation system, EXDOC, that allows

you to electronically apply for export certification, including export permits, phytosanitary certificates and other export certification.

• Used by Plant Export Operations since 2000, EXDOC is accepted by all of Australia’s

trading partners.

• EXDOC replicates the manual process of applying for export certification through

accredited commercial interface software.

• EXDOC automatically generates phytosanitary certification and other export certification

required by importing National Plant Protection Organisations.

22/05/2020 3

Prescribed goods

Prescribed goods are specified in the legislation as: prescribed grain (any seed of the following grains: barley, canola, chickpeas, dried field peas, faba beans, lentils, lupins, mung beans, oats, sorghum, soybeans, whole vetch and wheat) fresh fruit, vegetables (including mushrooms, sprouts) plant products (nuts, fodder, straw, timber products, nursery stock, tissue cultures, cotton and other grains and seeds not listed above) that an importing country National Plant Protection Organisation requires a phytosanitary certificate or any other official certificate

Export Registered Establishment

• The Export Control Act (1982) and its subordinate legislation enable the Australian Government to

register premises that prepare goods for export, subject to compliance with defined requirements.

• Prescribed goods must be prepared and presented for inspection by Authorised Officers at an

export registered establishment.

• The purpose of registering an establishment is to:
• ensure that the facilities are fit for purpose for the preparation and inspection of prescribed

goods for export

• ensure that appropriate hygiene and pest control measures are maintained, and
• enable effective sanctions if an establishment fails to meet the required standards through

suspension or revocation of registration or through suspension of export operations at an establishment.

Inspection of Transport Units

Inspection of Empty Containers Authorised Officers inspect empty containers before they are load with compliant prescribed goods to assure that the container will not alter the pest or disease status of the goods during transit. Inspection of Empty Bulk Vessels Similar to containers, Authorised Officers inspect bulk vessels, in particular the empty holds, to detect any infestations, residues or other faults that could change the state of compliant prescribed goods in transit. Inspection of Conveyors The Authorised Officers inspect conveyors used to transport grain from the point of inspection to the point of loading into containers or vessel holds

22/05/2020 4

Inspection/Assessment of Goods

• All prescribed goods must be inspected/assessed by an Authorised Officer at a registered

establishment prior to certification by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.

• The exporter must present export compliant goods for inspection. Live injurious insects in

inspected samples are not tolerated and infested goods are not permitted to leave Australia unless the presence of pests are below specific importing country tolerance levels.

• Prior to inspection, the exporter must apply for an export permit by completing a Notice of

Intention to Export Prescribed Goods (in the form of a Request for Permit) and providing supporting documents.

• Once the Authorised Officer has inspected/assessed the goods and is satisfied they meet the

requirements of Australian export legislation and the importing country, the officer will submit an inspection record with supporting documents to the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment for authorisation of the Request for Permit and issuance of certification.

• The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) places

responsibility on the National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) for the inspection of consignments of plants and plant products moving in international trade, particularly with the object of preventing the introduction and/or spread of pests” Article IV.2c of the IPPC,1997.

• The results of inspection/assessment allows an inspector to decide

whether to accept, detain or reject the consignment, or whether further analysis is required..

• For diseases not detectable by sight, phytosanitary certificates are issued

based on laboratory test results, area freedom certificates, crop inspection reports or a combination of these.

• The IPPC allows for the inspection of packaging and mode of

conveyance.

• Australia requires mandatory inspection and approval of shipping

containers, bulk vessels and conveyors before loading export compliant goods.

Sampling for Phytosanitary Certification

10 11 12

22/05/2020 5

• The goods are prepared in a Registered Establishment
• The exporter lodges a NOI
• Container or vessel is approved
• Goods are assessed/inspected & passed by an Authorised Officer
• Trade description compliant
• Phytosanitary certificate issued after inspection

Conditions on the export of prescribed goods

• The Indian NPPO has recently approved phosphine fumigation as an additional

phytosanitary treatment to the current mandatory methyl bromide fumigation for Australian barley exported to India.

• The approval recognises all the three phosphine formulations and reduces the exposure

period from 21 days to 7 or 10 days depending upon the temperature as follows:

• Aluminium phosphide at 2 g.m3 for 10 days at 15–25°C or 7 days at 25°C and

above

• VaporPh3OS at 1400 ppm for 10 days at 15–25°C or 7 days at 25°C and above
• ECO2Fume at 1400 ppm for 10 days at 15–25°C or 7 days at 25°C and above.

GRAIN MOVEMENT FOR

EXPORTS IN CONTAINERS

1.How does it works and some of the challenges for a packer. 2.Matching Grain intake to exports demand. 3.Matching empty container availability to the right volume on different orders 4.Creating the correct paperwork to allow timely movement of the boxes to the wharf

• 5. Processes to allow invoices to be paid on time and correctly

6.Getting the right fumigation process and correct dosage for importing country

1. HOW DOES IT WORK?

• Export sale
• Boxes are booked by exporter
• Release Numbers given to the packer 7 to 21 days min

before shipment cut off date

• Pick up boxes once available. This can be the problem if

containers are tight in supply. The grain is in the silo but the containers are not yet available.

• Pack and re‐deliver to the yard or to the wharf if slots and

time allows or re‐deliver to container yard.

1 2 3

22/05/2020 2

MATCHING SUPPLY TO DEMAND.

• This can be the hard part. You have farmers wanting to sell

but the demand moving away.

• Trying to bring the right amount in for the boxes that may

not get released. You need surge protection in the system.

• Then you need to match the quality and quantity to the

export demand and try to make a sale.

• Lack of consistency for the packer is a problem and

mangaging the cost base for this. Too many staff one day and not enough the next! SOME AREA TO WATCH

• Container weights per box. Some countries have large

penalties for overweight containers.

• Max Box weights for local roads in Australia
• Shipment average contracts and not per box!

Manage the paperwork The number 1 thing in packing and logistics is to get the paperwork correct. Timely processes to get payment quickly
