Acting chief executive officer, Peter Woods, says the additional exporters accredited by WEA are:

• Riverina (Australia) Pty Ltd

• Pentag Commodities Pty Limited

To become accredited under the scheme, exporters are required to demonstrate they are fit and proper through satisfying the specific eligibility criteria in the Scheme.

WEA has the discretion to make decisions, including applying conditions, based on the applicant’s particular circumstances and their proposed export arrangements.

WEA also has significant monitoring and enforcement responsibilities to protect the interests of growers and the industry.

“Growers and the industry need to be aware that accreditation does not indemnify exporters or provide any guarantees relating to contracts or payments of any kind,” Mr Woods said.

“It is therefore important for growers to exercise prudential judgement in decisions surrounding the sale and marketing of their wheat.”

WEA is continuing to assess other applications.
