The new MOU will deliver outcomes to benefit the Australian oilseeds industry and the broader grains industry, by ensuring a high level of collaboration, service and support between the two organisations.

Rosemary Richards, president of the AOF, said the board of AOF will act as a reference group for Grains Australia on matters related to the Australian oilseeds industry and will provide advice and insights.

"Our focus is on generating value for the industry, and effective collaboration between AOF and Grains Australia is essential to deliver what our growers, traders, processors, researchers and consumers need."

Richards said: "Under the MOU, the AOF will also provide expertise, information and insights to support Grains Australia's delivery of trade and market access and classification projects and other priorities related to oilseeds, oil and meal."

Terry Enright, chair of Grains Australia, said AOF has a well-established, evidence-based platform for oilseeds research and development priorities which Grains Australia will benefit from in delivering trade and market access- and classification-related activities.

"We are committed to working effectively with AOF for the benefit of the oilseeds industry and welcome this MOU as a formal starting point for a new valuable working relationship."
