The Australian Wheat Variety Classification Panel classifies new wheat varieties for use by the Australian wheat industry.

Wheat varietal classification is the categorisation of wheat varieties into grades based on processing and end product quality.

The aim of Wheat varietal classification together with wheat receival standards is to deliver grain of consistent physical quality, processing performance and end-product quality to customers and end-users in a differentiated form (grades) allowing exporters (or traders) to optimise value capture from markets for the benefit of industry.
