United Workers Union members at GrainCorp sites in Geelong and Portland began a 48-hour strike at Victorian ports over pay and rostering. The union says the strike will disrupt woodchip shipments and could affect 2025 grain harvest shipments if the dispute is not resolved.
Port disruptions in Victoria could slow Australian grain exports during the harvest shipping window, which may support near-term export basis and international wheat and barley prices.
