CBH Grower Study Tour getting ready to fly again

2/4/2025
CBH Group is pleased to announce its 2025 Grower Study Tour is heading to China for a 10-day trip in September, with expressions of interest now open.  

For the past two decades, CBH Marketing & Trading has offered Western Australian growers the opportunity to broaden their horizons, learn about the grain industry and benefit from a behind-the-scenes look into customer requirements through the Grower Study Tour.  

Chief Marketing & Trading Officer Paul Smith said the co-operative was looking forward to taking growers to one of WA’s key grain export markets.  

“This tour to China offers a unique opportunity for Western Australian growers to delve into China's grain supply chain,” Mr Smith said.  

“A brewery tour, visits to mills, ports, and processing facilities are all on the itinerary along with the opportunity to engage directly with some of CBH’s key customers, and gain firsthand insights into trade dynamics in one of the world’s key global markets.”  

Previous Grower Study Tours have visited some of Australia’s most important export markets, including South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Japan, and the Middle East. 

“Our Grower Study Tours enhance the connections between CBH, growers, and our customers,” Mr Smith said.  

“It was great to see strong bonds formed between growers in last year’s tour to Japan and it was fantastic to see the majority of those growers reunite at the recent CBH Member Forum, AGM and Sundowner event.  

“Plus, we were fortunate to have Zen-Noh's Vice President of Feed & Livestock Production Mr Shin Inoue present at the Member Forum. Attendees of last year’s Tour met with Mr Inoue and his colleagues and enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect and reminisce at the Sundowner. 

“We hope to see these bonds and connections continue to form for this year’s trip and for future tours.” 

The 2025 Grower Study Tour is scheduled to take place from approximately 5-14 September. 

CBH is proud to partly fund this tour as part of our co-operative commitments.  

Growers should contact their local Business Relationship Manager to express their interest in attending the 2025 Grower Study Tour. 

Expressions of interest close 30 April 2025.
