Strengths in Australia

In addition to being LDC’s oldest business, we have been active in grains in Australia since 1913. Today, LDC originates and trades wheat, sorghum, barley and pulses in the country, both locally and for export markets.

We own and operate multiple grains storage and handling facilities in New South Wales and Queensland, supported by LDC’s global network of origination, shipping and distribution activities in key growing and consumption regions.

In Oilseeds, LDC supplies high quality protein meal and by-products to domestic customers in the poultry, meat, dairy and aquaculture sectors, with warehouses located on the east coast and in South Australia.

We leverage our global market presence and efficient supply chain to offer tailored solutions that meet the needs of our customers in Australia.

Committed to Sustainability

In addition to our strong merchandizing capabilities, growing product portfolio and reputation for reliability and integrity, our leading position in grains and oilseeds is also connected with our commitment to responsible sourcing, traceable supply chains and sustainable business practices globally.

Increasing traceability in our palm and soy operations is also central to our sustainability efforts, to encourage responsible land use and non-conversion of native vegetation for soy and palm cultivation.
