Agricultural export logistics agreements

Overview

In July 2026, Mid West Ports partnered with Plum Grove Logistics to handle a 600,000‑ton grain export contract, marking a sizable regional commitment to move bulk agricultural products.

A month later, in August 2026, global logistics provider DP World secured a multi‑year agreement with Australian agribusiness Balco. The deal covers the transport of more than 10,000 TEU of premium forage each year, adding road‑transport and equipment‑management services to support Balco’s export growth.

This partnership is designed to strengthen the export supply chain for Australian forage products, including hay and animal feed, moving them from regional production sites to international markets. Balco Australia, which manages annual export volumes exceeding 300,000 metric tonnes across South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia, serves more than 10 international markets, including customers in Asia and the Middle East. To support this, DP World will invest in specialized transport assets and provide integrated supply chain coordination.

Together, these developments illustrate a broader pattern of logistics firms forging dedicated partnerships with agricultural producers to bolster supply‑chain resilience and expand export capacity across different continents.
