Western Australia's CBH hits record-high grain intake

Western Australian (WA) bulk handler CBH has recorded its largest-ever crop intake, with 22.9mn t of grain received.

CBH surpassed the 22.9mn t mark on 29 December, making the 2025-26 season its largest intake on record, it announced on 30 December.

CBH previously set its record during the 2022-23 season, when it also received 22.9mn t of grain. Current receivals are continuing in the Kwinana South and Albany zones over the next fortnight, CBH said, but deliveries have slowed in Geraldton and Kwinana North.

The bulk handler's record year is due to Western Australia's strong production season. The Grain Industry Association of Western Australia (Giwa) forecasts the state's 2025-26 winter crop at 26.6mn t, which could exceed WA's previous record of 26.3mn t set in 2022-23.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (Abares) projects a slightly lower figure of 26.2mn t, which is still the second-largest WA winter crop on record.

Both agencies attribute the increase largely to an expected record barley harvest. Giwa estimates WA's barley crop at 7.42mn t, while Abares forecast stands at 7.2mn t, both surpassing the previous high of 6mn t in 2024-25.
