Australia beats US to Iraq contract
8 Oct 2004
AWB has won a contract to supply a million tonnes of wheat to Iraq in a deal worth around $300 million. AWB said the contract with the Iraqi Grain Board would provide supplies over six months. The new contract, which is equal to about five per cent of last season’s wheat crop, takes AWB's wheat sales to Iraq since the end of the war last year to more than 1.5 million tonnes. The AWB expects Iraq to import about 3 million tonnes of grain a year once the situation settled down: "We aim to keep half of that."
