AWB closing 2009-10 wheat pools

AWB has closed its 2009-10 season wheat pool in the Geraldton port zone on Friday (Feb 5), and will close its Thevenard, Wallaroo and Port Giles port zones on Tuesday (Feb 9).

All other port zones in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria are under review and likely to close in the near future.

AWB General Manager Commodities, Mitch Morison, said that with harvest all but complete in even the most southerly regions, growers planning to utilise AWB’s pools should make delivery arrangements promptly. Growers can take a pool access contract, or have grain transferred to the AWB pool until midnight on the relevant pool closure date.

The AWB Group is an Australian specialising in grain trading, rural and financial services.
