Buckwheat

Buckwheat is nature’s most pure, wholesome, and unprocessed plant food you can eat. Researchers have found the proteins of Buckwheat to be ‘the best known source of high biological proteins in the plant kingdom’, therefore being superior to cereals, soybeans, etc.

Brian W Bartlett pioneered the introduction of Buckwheat into Australia as a crop. Since then he has built an enviable expertise in this product and continues to lead the Australian industry in the development and export of specialist varieties and value added products such as those used by the Japanese in the production of noodles otherwise known as "Soba" mien.

Cereal Grains

By world standards, Australia is a relatively small producer of grain, with the major cereals, wheat and barley each accounting for around 3% of annual world production. However, as domestic demand is limited due to Australia's small population, about 80% of our wheat and barley is exported. This results in Australia accounting for between 8% and 15% of world trade in each of these grains, and making it the fourth largest exporter after the United States, Canada and the European Union.

By far the largest enterprise in the Australian grain industry is wheat production. Wheat represents around 90% of the total value of grain production. The balance of around 10% includes barley, oats, sorghum, lupins, rice, field peas, triticale, maize, peanuts, sunflowerseed, soybeans, cottonseed and other oilseeds.

Bartlett Grain once again has been leading exporter within the Australian industry specializing in Wheat, Barley, Sorghum and Oats.

These products provide an important source of protein, amino acids, vitamins and other elements that assist in the growth and health of livestock including cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry and farmed fish.
