# First Bunge harvest vessel departs from Thevenard

> Bunge’s first vessel of the 2026–27 South Australian harvest departed Thevenard carrying more than 24,000 tonnes of wheat bound for the Philippines. The company said more than 7.4 million tonnes of shipments were booked for the season, including over 1.8 million tonnes during harvest.

## Why it matters

The departure confirms active export movement and strong buyer interest in South Australian grain, supporting demand for Australian wheat. The single shipment is small relative to global supply and is not, by itself, a major price driver.
