Farmers delivering to Bunge sites or selling grain to Bunge are required to register with the National Grower Register (NGR).
NGR is a single place for you to keep contact and business details up to date. These are shared with us and other registered buyers.
To update your contact details, please log in to myNGR or call NGR on 1800 556 630. NGR will automatically share your new contact details with us.
You are required to complete a delivery advice and declaration with details about your load for each delivery to a Bunge site.
You can complete a delivery advice digitally through the Bunge app, or via the hard copy book available at sites.
In addition to providing delivery details, you must complete declarations regarding chemical application, season of production, and if the variety is genetically modified.
Farmers or the carrier must also record the last commodity carried. If we identify a contaminant on the vehicle at any stage of the receival process the load will be declined and future loads may require the last three loads to be declared.
Please ensure all fields are completed prior to presenting at the classification office.

Dynamic binning has delivered around $73 million in value to farmers since it was introduced in 2018*, with the opportunity for immediate upgrades of wheat, barley and canola for loads that are just outside of receival standards.
Through dynamic binning, we’re able to provide more value to farmers while continuing to meet end use customers’ outturn requirements.
In addition to dynamic binning, we also provide a 1% tolerance for moisture above Grain Trade Australia (GTA) receival standards on all wheat and barley deliveries.

Bunge works with the grain industry, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and SA Police to reduce heavy vehicle overloading and promote compliance with transport regulation, while recognising the challenges farmers and operators face when moving grain.
All heavy vehicle operators should be familiar with the South Australia Farm Gate Grain Transport Mass Exemption Notice 2025 (No.1) and the Heavy Vehicle National Law.
Drivers are responsible for determining the vehicle’s legal mass limit based on its configuration, including accredited vehicles, and declaring this via a mass limit code at a Bunge site.
Declaring the wrong code or exceeding the vehicle’s legal gross mass limit is an offence where NHVR may impose penalties.
Together with Grain Transport Safety Network (GTSN), we publish truck charts and book to assist you to accurately identify the mass requirements applying to grain trucks.
Please consult these documents to ensure trucks are loaded within legal mass limits and reduce the risks associated with overloaded heavy vehicles travelling on roads.
Drivers operating above general mass limits must provide evidence of entitlement such as National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (NHVAS) accreditation or NHVR permit.
If evidence is not provided, the vehicle will be treated as operating at general mass limits.
Please contact the NHVR on 1300 696 487 or visit nhvr.gov.au for more information.
Drivers and loaders share responsibility for ensuring vehicles are not overloaded.
Bunge weighs vehicles on entry and exit. Vehicles arriving overloaded will receive a mass breach warning on the weighnote and may be reported to NHVR.
Drivers must follow site instructions to safely manage overloaded vehicles. Loaders and drivers must also demonstrate actions taken to avoid overloads recurring.
Important information on breaches
Breaches include:
The farmer who consigned the load may receive a formal letter, phone call or email from Bunge advising of the breach, in accordance with Chain of Responsibility legislation.
The road immediately adjacent to grain receival sites may be subject to lower restrictions on vehicle mass, which is commonly referred to as the ‘last mile’.
Drivers must take into consideration maximum mass limit allowed on all roads used during their trip, including ‘last mile’ restrictions, when planning off-farm deliveries to Bunge sites. For more information, visit the NHVR route planner or RAVNet maps.
Drivers should be familiar with the South Australian Grain Carriers Code of Practice which is registered with the NHVR.
Heavy vehicle safety is everyone’s responsibility.
The government’s chain of responsibility (COR) laws ensure all parties in the supply chain share responsibility for compliance with the Heavy Vehicle National Law and heavy vehicle safety.
The NHVR reminds farmers of the important role they play, whether you are using your own heavy vehicle or contracting a service.
It is important to take some time at the start of the season, or before undertaking a task, to identify and reduce the risks related to heavy vehicle transport tasks.
In particular, have a plan to:
More information about heavy vehicle safety for primary producers.

All vehicles transporting grain must meet cleanliness standards outlined in the prior load matrix.
Farmers using carriers remain responsible for grain quality and must ensure trucks are clean before loading. Vehicles must be fit for purpose and presented free of contaminants, including the tarpaulin.
Vehicles that do not meet hygiene requirements will not be loaded or unloaded.
The prior load matrix outlines cleaning requirements based on previous loads and applies to all vehicles transporting commodities to, from or within Bunge sites.
For farmer deliveries, it is mandatory to declare the last load carried on the delivery advice. All other movement-types require the last three loads to be declared.
Farmers should also refer to Bunge’s full road vehicle hygiene requirements.
Inner Harbour, Port Lincoln, Wallaroo, Port Giles and Thevenard are delivery points for farmers as well as export shipping terminals.
We manage deliveries to our port terminals to meet shipping requirements and maximise the efficiency of the storage and handling network, for the benefit of farmers, exporters and the industry.
Farmers can deliver direct to Wallaroo, Thevenard and Port Giles at all times in line with the segregation plan.
At times, deliveries to Inner Harbour and Port Lincoln may be restricted to farmers within the local delivery zone only. Farmers will be notified via SMS and Bunge app notification when the delivery line is open/closed for certain commodities or grades.
Sell your grain stored on farm to a buyer for delivery direct to port ahead of when they have a vessel booked to load.
Port direct allows you to maximise the value of your on-farm grain, with buyers reflecting a reduction in fees through higher pricing for your grain.
Contact your buyer for delivery options and pricing. Farmers are responsible for quality management in storage and delivery to port at buyer’s call. Learn more about the port direct process.
Outside of harvest we receive all deliveries, including through port direct, under our postharvest delivery procedure. This includes contacting port to book in before delivering. Learn more about delivering to Bunge postharvest.
Our fee structure reflects the most efficient operations of the storage and handling network long term. The structure is designed to encourage farmers and commercial customers to use the most efficient sites and ports.
Storage and handling service fees are paid by our commercial customers, and it is at their discretion how they reflect our cost-based charging structure in their site based pricing to farmer customers.
