> CBH completed an upgrade of its Mingenew grain receival site in Western Australia, adding 270,000 tonnes of open bulkhead storage for a total capacity of 710,000 tonnes. The site also gained faster inloading systems, improved sampling and a 24-bed accommodation facility ahead of the 2027 harvest.

## Why it matters

Higher upcountry receival capacity should reduce harvest delays and bottlenecks in the Geraldton zone export chain, with little direct effect on global prices.
