Family-owned Fletcher International Exports is a well-known Australian farmer, processor and exporter of lamb, sheep meat and other agricultural products. The group has two plants, one in Dubbo, New South Wales, and the other near Albany, Western Australia. Together, the two plants process more than 90,000 sheep and lambs a week – that’s over 4.5 million head of livestock a year.
The group has expanded into agricultural logistics. It has significantly invested in its grain handling and intermodal freight terminal. Set on a 200 acre site adjacent to the Dubbo processing plant, the grain handling facility has more than 63,000 tonnes of silo and 250,000 tonnes of bunker grain storage.
