Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC)

AEGIC will be taking a break over the festive season. Our offices will close at the end of the day on Tuesday 24 December 2024 and we’ll reopen on Thursday 2 January 2025. We wish you a joyful and relaxing Christmas break and look forward to working with you in the New Year.

Reflecting on a productive 2024: We were proud to host our 2024 #Australianbarley technical seminars in China, supported by the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations (NFACR) 澳中基金会. These events showcased the best of Australian barley, and were well received by Chinese customers eager to connect with Australia’s barley supply chain and receive up-to-date technical support and information. Held in Shanghai and Guangzhou, the seminars brought together industry leaders from China and Australia, including barley breeders, growers, Chinese malting and brewing experts and the AEGIC team. The events included panel discussion and networking lunch, which helped share expertise, create new connections and strengthen existing relationships. We look forward to continued collaboration and innovation in 2025. #barley #malting #beer #agchatoz #NFACR #aussiebarley #malt
