DP World and Balco Australia today, Aug. 4, jointly announced the signing of a new multi-year agreement, further strengthening their long-standing partnership and enhancing the efficiency and resilience of the export supply chain for Australia’s premium forage products.
DP World will continue as an important logistics partner to Balco, providing integrated road transport, equipment management and supply chain coordination services. These solutions will support the efficient movement of forage products from Balco’s regional production sites to export gateways and international markets, further strengthening the reliability, efficiency and service capability of Balco’s global supply chain.
Balco Australia is one of Australia’s leading exporters of premium forage products and a global provider of ruminant fibre solutions. The strengthened partnership with DP World will further enhance Balco’s supply chain resilience and operational capability, support the company’s continued international growth, and enable it to deliver more reliable, efficient and trusted products and services to customers worldwide.
Under the new agreement, DP World will support the movement of more than 10,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) annually through dedicated road transport, equipment management and integrated logistics services. The partnership will also include investment in specialized transport assets and dedicated account management to support Balco’s growing export requirements and long-term international development.
The agreement will further strengthen Balco’s global supply chain capability while reinforcing DP World’s long-term commitment to supporting Australia’s agricultural exports and connecting regional producers with international markets.

By combining our integrated ports, transport and logistics capabilities, we’re helping Balco move exports more efficiently from regional Australia to global markets. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to building resilient supply chains that support customer growth and strengthen Australia’s export economy.”
Linda Xu, General Manager, Logistic & Fulfillment at Balco Australia, said: “A stable, efficient and resilient supply chain is fundamental to Balco’s ability to serve global customers and continue expanding across international markets.

This partnership will further improve our supply chain resilience and operational efficiency, support Balco’s continued international growth, and enable us to provide customers worldwide with more reliable and efficient fiber products and solutions.”
The partnership will leverage DP World’s integrated logistics network across Australia to further optimize the end-to-end movement of Balco’s products from regional production sites to export gateways. The partnership will strengthen the resilience of Australia’s agricultural export supply chain, support regional economic development and enhance the global competitiveness of Australian premium agricultural products.
