AWB faces trouble on two fronts
10 Jan 2006
AWB’s rejection of WA bulk wheat handler CBH’s application to ship wheat directly to its mills in south east Asia has brought a strong response from CBH, who say they will lobby for an end to the 66 year old single desk export system. AWB said in rejecting the CBH application that a multi seller situation would put returns for the whole national pool at risk, while CBH countered that they were replacing overseas product with Australian wheat at their Asian mills. The Cole inquiry into AWB’s Iraq dealings under the UN Oil for Food program begins next week.
