Grower Groups
O
ur strong relationships at both ends of the supply chain allow Frontier to create partnership agreements that benefit everyone. For example, with Molson Coors, Frontier has created and managed a Growers’ Group for more than ten years, providing farmers with growing protocols and a guaranteed grain contract, and Molson Coors with high quality malting barley to the required specification and volumes. This is just one example of the way in which we are able to bring growers and consumers together to the benefit of all.
Cargill's starch and glucose manufacturing plant in Manchester is a huge consumer of feed wheat and Frontier has the exclusive contract for supply. Approximately 750,000 tonnes of wheat is used annually to make starch and glucose, used in the manufacture of products such as confectionery, pharmaceuticals, alcoholic beverages, pet food and soft drinks.
