CBH Group shipped 35,000 tonnes of malting barley from Albany, Western Australia, to Mexico, a first for the Australian grains industry.

New export markets for Australian barley ease reliance on China and support Australian barley prices, while the Mexico shipment is a small addition to global barley trade flows.
