The South Australian grain industry is one of the state’s biggest economic drivers, contributing billions to Gross State Product each year and employing tens of thousands across farms, regional communities, and the wider supply chain.

​

Following the outstanding success of the inaugural South Australian Grain Industry Awards — which drew 300 guests to Adelaide Oval — the event has cemented itself as a major celebration of the people and businesses driving our state’s grain sector forward.

​

Returning in 2026, the Awards continue to recognise those demonstrating excellence, innovation, leadership and sustainability across the grains value chain. They also honour the industry’s heritage through the South Australian Grain Industry Hall of Fame, acknowledging individuals who have made long-standing and significant contributions to the state’s grain sector.

​

This year’s event will again bring together producers, researchers, and industry professionals for a night of celebration and recognition. Nominations are now open — get involved by nominating someone who inspires you or exemplifies best practice in our industry.
