Grains Policy Council
Initially the National Farmers Federation Grains Council, the GPA policy council was formally adopted as their national grain policy setting forum by the grain production farming members around Australia. A representative Policy Development Framework (the framework) is the key business process of Grain Producers Australia. The framework is used to develop well researched, responsible and representative policy to protect and promote Australian grain producers.

Key roles and responsibilities within GPA are clearly defined to determine and manage grains industry policies
