East Meets West: 2025 grain knowledge tour in Western Australia

In this episode, Vítor Pistóia, Senior Grains & Oilseeds Analyst at RaboResearch, is joined by special guests Ryan Hetherington, Deputy Regional Manager for Western Australia, and Ian Donaldson, Senior Manager in the Rural Valuations team, to unpack the insights from Rabobank’s East Meets West grain tour. Held over six days in Western Australia’s Midwest region, the tour brought together growers from Australia and New Zealand to the local industry to explore how grain producers are successfully farming in a low-rainfall zone dominated by sandy soil. The tour offered a unique opportunity to learn about the challenges and innovations shaping grain production in this part of the country.
