Co-operative Bulk Handling

Co-operative Bulk Handling

Co-operative Bulk Handling or Co-operative Bulk Group, commonly known as CBH, is a Western Australian based cooperative company that operates grain receival points and also markets grain. The company has 983 employees and has revenues in excess of $100 million per year.[1]

History

Kwinana CBH grain loading terminal.

CBH was formed on 4 April 1933 [2] in order to create an efficient and cost-effective bulk handling system that would reduce costs for individual farmers. This was achieved when the trustees of the Wheat Board of Western Australia and Wesfarmers Ltd registered the company together with capital of 100,000 pounds divided evenly into 100,000 shares[3]. The cooperative was formed under the principle of one person, one vote regardless of the amount of grain supplied.

In 1999/2000 season CBH received a record amount of grain, 12,150,000 tonnes in all, made up of 11 different grain types. [4]

CBH merged with the Grain Pool of WA in November 2002 when legislation was passed in the Western Australian parliament allowing the merger to go ahead.[5]

CBH received a new record harvest of 14.7 million tonnes from grain growers in Western Australia during the 2003/2004 season.[6].
