> Australian grain exporters say getting grain out of the country is difficult, with shipping costs not returning to pre-COVID levels and labour shortages expected to be the main issue. Canola has peaked above A$1,000 a tonne. China is adding tougher import checks and new tariffs that raise costs for Australian exporters.
