An offer is a nominated price that a grower has placed on CropConnect to sell one of their holdings. An offer can be made up of part or a whole ticket, or a combination of these.
A grower can create an offer either by indicating the total tonnes they wish to sell (tickets will be selected automatically, from oldest to newest) or by selecting the tickets they wish to sell and then indicating the tonnes for each ticket. They then set the price and confirm the duration the offer is valid for. An offer can be created from anywhere a 'create new offer' or 'place offer' button is displayed.
When creating an offer, you can choose how many tonnes you want to allocate from each ticket. If part of a ticket is on offer, then the remaining tonnes can only be sold via a cash, pool or contract transfer.
No, only tickets that are in your holdings and not already up for offer can be Croptimised. Any tickets currently up for offer will need to be cancelled before they can be Croptimised. This include any tickets that are partly on offer.
For more information on Croptimiser and updates for the current harvest please visit Croptimiser.com.au.
The Delivery Summary can be found under 'Accounting' > 'Delivery Summary'. It is split into two tabs; the 'Receivals' tab that shows all of your deliveries to GrainCorp sites and the 'Totals' tab that shows the total tonnes and average quality per holding and per site.

A bid is a cash price that a buyer has placed on CropConnect for a specified quantity of grain they wish to purchase. Bids update on the hour according to NSW Time (AEDT/AEST).
Bid prices are fixed, except Canola which all have increments (+/- oil and admix).
A buyer can create a bid from anywhere a 'create new bid' button is displayed, or by uploading a cash price file. To place a bid, a port zone tonnage limit needs to be specified by either adding a tonnage limit from the 'Tonnage Limits' menu, or uploading a tonnage limit file.
A counter-bid is a cash price that a buyer has sent directly and confidentially to a grower in response to one of their offers. Counter-bids are effective
immediately and for a duration specified by the buyer (from 30 minutes up to 24 hours).
You can access all the counter-bids that you have received and that are still active from 'My Stock' > 'Active Offers'. In the 'Best Counter' column you will see the highest active counter-bid for your offer. When you click on the counter-bid price you will be shown all the active counter-bids on your offer. From there, you can choose which one to accept.
You can find them on the Pool Prices tab of the 'The Marketplace' > 'All Bids & Pools' page.
A preferred buyer is a buyer that a grower has chosen to deal with when placing offers on the cash marketplace in CropConnect. Growers can place offers and accept bids and counter-bids without choosing any preferred buyers, however a buyer needs to be set as a preferred buyer before they can accept those offers or before auto-matching can take place. Therefore, an offer will not transact unless the grower has at least one preferred buyer. A buyer does not need to be a preferred buyer to place a counter-bid.
You can create and manage your preferred buyers by going to 'My Stock' > 'Manage Buyers'. From here you can select
the buyers you wish to add/remove by checking/unchecking the 'Preferred Buyer' checkbox next to a buyer's name.
Please note, buyers can join or leave the marketplace and can change their advertised payment terms at anytime. It is your responsibility to manage your list of preferred buyers and monitor buyers' payment terms.
You can through CropConnect, we just have a new name for it. The cash prices you see in GrainTransact are now referred to as "bids" in CropConnect. Accepting a bid is the same as creating a cash Grower to Buyer Transfer as you previously did in GrainTransact.
In CropConnect growers can now also place an “offer”.
There are a couple of ways you can sell to cash in CropConnect:
A Grower to Grower transfer is now called an NGR transfer. You can do a NGR transfer by clicking on the Transfer button on either the 'Holdings' or the 'Tickets' page. NGR transfers now also come in two types. You can continue to transfer multiple tickets to a single NGR as before, but you can now also transfer a single ticket to multiple NGRs. You can select the relevant NGR transfer type when you start the transfer in CropConnect.
You can transfer to contract, pool, or to cash by clicking on the Transfer button on either the 'Holdings' or the 'Tickets' page and selecting the relevant transfer type when prompted.
If you have active counter-bids on any of your offers you'll see the highest counter-bid price on 'My Stock' > 'Active Offers'. Click on that price to reveal all the counter-bids associated with the offer and pick the counter-bid you wish to accept by clicking the 'Accept' button. You can also access all your counter-bids directly from the 'counter-bid received' push notifications.
You'll be asked to confirm your choice before completing the transaction. If the counter-bid is not from one of your preferred buyers, you'll be able to add the buyer to your list of preferred buyers to easily transact with them again in the future.
Note, you can only accept one counter-bid per offer. Once you accept a counter-bid, all the other counter-bids associated with the offer will be cancelled.
You'll be unable to transfer to cash when:
You'll be unable to transfer to a pool when you've selected a non-standard grade.
You'll be unable to accept a counter-bid when:
You'll be unable to transfer a ticket to multiple NGRs when:
You'll be unable to transfer multiple tickets to an NGR when:
No, all transactions through CropConnect are final, including any auto-match transactions. If you have any concerns, please contact the Stocks Team.
If there is an offer in the cash marketplace and a bid of equal or greater price (for the same holding) then it will auto-match and transact at the bid price. Auto-matching occurs:
The auto-match curfew is a time period in which no auto-matching or accepting of offers can occur. During this curfew, the marketplace can still be accessed,
offers, bids and counter-bids can still be placed, and growers can continue to accept bids, counter-bids and conduct transfers.
The auto-match curfew is in place:

GrainCorp will monitor feedback. If a buyer receives a large amount of negative feedback from growers then action may be taken to address the concerns expressed.
If you have given negative feedback about a buyer and do not wish to deal with them, you can remove them from your preferred buyers list. To learn more please refer to, how do I create or update my preferred buyers list?
