CBH locked out workers at its Kwinana grain terminal in Western Australia after a dispute over an enterprise agreement, with the lockout effective from 1 September. The move followed more than 60 notices of industrial action since mid-July and disruptions including delayed wagon unloading and shipping issues.
Disruption at Kwinana, WA's largest grain export facility, during the pre-harvest maintenance window could slow export loadings and support Australian wheat and barley export prices. The scale of the impact depends on how long the lockout lasts.
After 283 past bullish logistics events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
