# Grain growers face new challenges after bumper season - The Farmer

> NSW growers had three years of below-average yields due to drought, flood, disease and pests before a strong 2020-21 season delivered over 8 million tonnes. GrainCorp expects to export 8.5 million tonnes and has booked port receivals until September 2021. Domestic feedlot demand has grown sharply, to 1.2 million tonnes of grain annually.

## Why it matters

Strong NSW supply and GrainCorp's export bookings add to available Australian grain for feed buyers, while growing domestic feedlot demand supports local feed grain use.
