The Oakey Branch is located in the centre of the Darling Downs, 30kms
west of Toowoomba. Since its establishment in the mid 1970's, the branch has
established three main activities:
- Merchandise sales and distribution centre
- Grain and birdseed marketing
- Cotton seed packing for export.

The merchandise sales and distribution centre supplies the company's
manufactured bagged stock feeds, protein meals, grains and birdseeds to
produce merchants and pastoral houses located in rural centres throughout
Queensland. The Darling Downs produces a large percentage of Queensland's
grain sorghum, barley, wheat, millets, soybeans, chick peas, mung beans and
cotton. These commodities form the nucleus of a successful grain trading
operation with direct aquisition from farmers. This enables Riverina to
supply both the domestic and export markets with many of these products.
In 1990 a modern cotton seed packing plant was built, keeping in line with the
rapidly growing cotton industry on the Darling Downs. Cotton seed is aquired
from growers and packed in bags and bulk containers for export to Japan and
Korea. It is also used successfully in the local feedlot and dairy industries
and has proven an excellent feed in drought times due to its high oil
and protein content.
