All grower details that we store on AgriDigital come directly from NGR - the National Grower Register.
β
NGR holds the ABN Entity Name and the Business Name as indicated with the Australian Business Register (https://abr.business.gov.au/).
β
Before the last NGR upgrade, Growers were able to enter a Trading name as they wanted (free text field). Due to a change of rule by ASIC, NGR will no longer hold the Trading Name. (Business names, trading names and legal names | business.gov.au).
β
This is the reason why, from the 28th of February, most records now have the same value on Trading Name vs Entity Name in AgriDigital.
β
If Growers wish to continue using a Trading name, it needs to be registered as a Business name on ABN.
Then, they can log into myNGR and update their Business Name.
