AWB Limited has combined its harvest loan and flexible drawdown loan into one product.
The new AWB Loan carries an underwriting fee of $1.90/tonne.
"Due to a volatile wheat market, we have made some changes to our harvest finance," AWB Australian Commodities general manager Stuart Richardson said.
He said growers should remember that payments offered through the finance products would be topped up as the season progressed.
Meanwhile, APW grade increased $1/tonne last week to $327/tonne FOB in the AWB eastern pool, while ASW had fallen $4/tonne to $307/tonne.
Mr Richardson said while wheat markets were under pressure, the weaker dollar was supporting values.
"Demand for Australian wheat remains strong, especially given the shortage of supplies as a result of the drought in the past two seasons," he said.
"But competition from larger crops in Canada, Europe and the Black Sea region remain factors in keeping a lid on prices to some destinations."
