GRAIN industry stalwart, Ron Storey, has been appointed chairman of the Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC) Board.

New AEGIC director Karlie Mucjanko will join current directors Matthew Macfarlane, Alick Osborne and Mr Storey on the Board.

Mr Storey said he was proud to take the helm from Mr Enright, who served as AEGIC’s chair for more than six years.

“Terry has had an enormous positive impact on AEGIC. During his term as chair, AEGIC has grown into a widely-respected organisation delivering real value for growers,” Mr Storey said.

“I look forward to carrying this legacy forward and helping AEGIC increase value in the Australian grains industry. While Covid-19 is presenting its short term challenges, the trends in global health and nutrition present unique opportunities for Australia. That is exciting for our industry and AEGIC’s work builds a preferred supplier status with Australian grain customers.”

He is a director and chairman of Pulse Australia, and was a former director and chairman of AGT Breeding and Australian Crop Forecasters.

He is currently managing director of Storey Marketing Services and retains a grain growing interest in his family farm.
