Part of our trading history

Experience across products.
Perspective across markets.

Agricultural commodities have formed part of Brightstar’s international trading activities at various stages throughout our history, complementing our long-standing involvement in dairy and food ingredients.

Over the years, Brightstar has explored and participated in trade across pulses, wheat, wheat flour and other food and agricultural commodities.

Trade & sourcing capabilities

From a requirement
to a practical connection.

Source

Identify the opportunity.

Explore sourcing opportunities in Australia and international markets, informed by the product and customer requirements.

Evaluate

Understand the supply.

Evaluate potential suppliers and products, bringing commercial judgement to the proposed trade.

Connect

Develop the market.

Work with customers in Asia and international partners to establish commercially viable supply chains.

Australia

Local production.
International perspective.

Brightstar has investigated opportunities involving Australian wheat and wheat flour. Our broader network also provides connections to suppliers and customers across a wider range of agricultural products.

Ukraine

Long-standing relationships.
A measured outlook.

Brightstar has particularly strong relationships in Ukraine, developed through years of business activity and personal connections. These previously provided opportunities to investigate Ukrainian wheat and other agricultural products for international markets.

The war has significantly affected the practical development of these activities, and Brightstar’s agricultural trade in the region is limited. The relationships remain important, with future opportunities to be explored as circumstances allow.

Our position today

Broader experience.
Practical capability.

Agricultural commodities are not presently a major area of Brightstar’s trading activity. The experience gained through these markets remains part of our broader international trade capability.
