CBH pulls out all stops to ship record crop

CBH Group is prioritising bulk exports to move Western Australia's record 2021-22 winter crop of about 23.1 Mt, which is 52% above the 10-year average. Container shipping slots will be removed from late May until 30 September 2022 to free capacity for bulk grain.

WHY IT MATTERS

Heavy port and shipping constraints in WA can slow Australian wheat and barley loadings, supporting nearby bulk prices and freight demand even as the crop is large.
