Inventory Shrinkage Losses
Definition
Grain shrinkage from drying high-moisture raw farm products to storage levels (e.g., corn from 25% to 15.5% MC) results in 11.24% weight loss plus 0.5-1.5% handling loss, directly reducing billable inventory if not precisely calculated.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 11-13% weight loss per batch (e.g., AUD 20,000 on 500t corn at AUD 300/t); handling loss 0.5-1.5%
- Frequency: Per storage cycle (harvest season)
- Root Cause: Manual moisture measurement errors and inconsistent shrink factor application
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Wholesale Raw Farm Products players in Australia 🇦🇺 lose 1-2% of grain value (AUD 10,000+ per 500t batch) on shrinkage miscalculation. Automation of moisture shrink calculation eliminates this loss.
