Wheat Tranport & Haulage

In the UK, most wheat is transported by road, although some longer journeys are undertaken by sea.  The majority of  UK grain is stored on farm after harvest and transported directly to the mill when it is required.  This avoids unnecessary double handling and associated road miles.

In order to maintain standards of food safety, grain handling and transport systems are subject to third party audit and inspection. Each vehicle is also checked for cleanliness prior to loading.

Regular meetings are held between nabim and representative organisations such as the National Farmers Union (NFU) and Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) to ensure that any issues in the transport and delivery system are addressed  promptly and collectively
