Australia's ABB grain to run national pools for rapeseed, wheat
Australian grain marketer ABB Grain Ltd said it would run national pools for the coming harvest in barley, rapeseed and wheat, subject to accreditation from bulk wheat regulator Wheat Exports Australia.
ABB general manager of marketing Peter Jones said grain pooled with ABB would be overseen by a new Pooled Grain business unit.
ABB has been exporting Australian wheat in containers since last year, and ABB's international customers had asked to buy bulk Australian wheat from ABB, Jones said.
Details for the 2008 season barley, rapeseed, and wheat national pools would be announced shortly.
