PERTH, AUSTRALIA — CBH Group, Australia’s largest cooperative, eclipsed its previous annual outturn record of 21.93 million tonnes, set in 2023, surging beyond 22 million tonnes outturned during the financial year.

With several vessels still loading, CBH said the final outturn number is set to grow before its 2026 financial year ends Sept. 30.

CBH’s storage and handling system receives and exports about 90% of the Western Australian grain harvest, including wheat, barley, canola and oats. Since 2022, CBH has been investing in its supply chain capabilities as part of its strategy to build a peak monthly outturn capacity of 3 million tonnes.
