Australian grain producers have donated more than $40,000 to four nominated charities to support Ukraine farmers and rural communities with their long-term recovery from war.
The #AussieGrain4Ukraine initiative was established to give Australian growers a way of supporting Ukraine growers and farming communities facing unimaginable atrocities and disruption to their lives due to Russia’s invasion of their country last year. Grain Producers Australia’s farmer sub-committee member and WA grain producer David Fulwood thanked all growers who have donated some of their grain to help the national fundraising appeal.
“We’ve raised about $41,000 in total from selling about 90 tonnes of grain that was donated by Australian growers from last year’s harvest,” Mr Fulwood said. “This initiative was established to achieve two key outcomes and we’ve met these goals.” Our first goal was to raise awareness and provide moral support for people in the Ukraine by letting them know they have the backing of Australian farmers and rural communities, and the second has been to raise funds.
