Invest into a better future

Invest to protect, enhance and regenerate sustainable and resilient food systems through catalytic capital that doesn’t cost the earth.

ORICoop investment pathways

ORICoop Investment pathways enable aligned capital to provide strategic funding towards tailored bespoke solutions for organic producers to capture strategic markets and build stronger and more resilient markets and supply chains across Southern Australia.

“Agriculture is going through the biggest and most urgent transition it’s ever known and requires new solutions and technology to make change happen at scale, from the farm gate to consumer.” – Carolyn Suggate

The next project

The ORCA project was originally funded through the Sustainable Table Fund. Through this project we identified key barriers and solutions to provide better outcomes for organic and regenerative grain producers across the Riverina District, the Mallee to South Australia and into Western Australia. This includes providing a tailored online marketplace, strategic investment into bespoke grain handling facilities and developing a farmer owned organic brands for organic products.

Our mission is to enable our members to capture better ex-farm market opportunities, to increase their on-farm resilience and to diversify the business risk with diverse markets, regenerative crop selections and increase the level of transparency of their farm practices along the supply chain to the end consumer.

Our objective is to increase the size, value and diversity of the organic grain sector in Australia year on year. Through expanding the existing markets and further diversifying better and stronger markets both domestically and through export opportunities the organic grain sector has a very bright future for Australian orgnaic and regenerative grain growers!
