WHY JOIN THE GRAIN BULK HANDLERS ASSOCIATION?
1. To maximize grower returns.
2. Do growers want their Co-operative to rebate trading surpluses to growers based on patronage or to spawn another Grain Corp or Cargills?
3. Our farming future depends on an efficient, effective and low cost CBH Group.
4. The Grain Bulk Handlers Association is the voice for growers who want the logistics chain to be operated in their interests and more efficiently.
5. We need to act together to assert our right to control the future direction of CBH.
As a Cooperative, and being guided by the 7 Principles, we are providing WA Grain Growers another layer of oversight to ensure proper governance and accountability, to minimize waste and maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of CBH capital expenditure.
Our Aims & Objectives Include:
• To protect and promote Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH), upholding universal cooperative principles, including democratic control by members, while maximizing farm gate returns
• To ensure that any departure from Grain Pool and CBH traditions and practices only occurs when approved by a majority of CBH Shareholders/Members
• CBH grain trading surplus, less reserves, to be rebated to grain growers based on patronage, unless decided otherwise by a majority of CBH Shareholder Members
• Accelerate the CBH 2033 plan to increase grain shipping capacity to 3 million tonnes per month to capture premium market prices
• Encourage Federal, State and CBH investment in rail
• Ensure that CBH executive incentives are based on and aligned with maximizing farm gate returns
• Work with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to minimize structural inefficiencies in the port, rail and road transportation systems
• Provide another layer of oversight to ensure proper governance and accountability, minimize waste and maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of CBH capital expenditure
