United Workers Union staged a 24-hour strike on October 21, 2025 at GrainCorp's Geelong site, with action threatened at Portland as well. The dispute centers on a new enterprise agreement covering rostering, safety equipment and pay.
Strikes at GrainCorp's Victorian terminals could delay Australian grain loading and add export logistics risk, giving modest support to international wheat and barley prices if action escalates.
After 283 past bullish logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
