Suited for growing in poor soils in partly arid areas, sorghum has long been an export favourite due to its low fat, low sodium, carbohydrate and vitamin rich nutritional values. Related to sugar cane and millet, sorghum is Australia�??s third largest crop and a staple for breads and cereals that are commercially or domestically produced across the world.
Thanks to world leading research into pest and disease resistant grains, Australian sorghum has a reputation not only for its high quality and taste, but also for its long shelf life due to the excellence of Australian standard bulk handling and transportation systems.
Our team at Nzac Foods are proud to have established a professional and communicative relationship with some of the biggest sorghum producers in the northern growing regions of Australia; it is through this network we are able to offer fast transportation of sorghum to any port across the globe.
