Harvest Report - 27 October
28/10/2025
Harvest has now officially started in every zone with tonnes received in Geraldton, Kwinana North, Kwinana South, Albany and Esperance zones.
Esperance has received the lion’s share of the state’s crop to date with more than 175,000 tonnes in the system, followed by Kwinana North Zone with just over 20,000 tonnes. Kwinana South has received 2,600 tonnes so far.
The Albany and Geraldton zones received their first grain for the season last week, with 2,000 and 7,900 tonnes received to date respectively.
Canola has been the predominant commodity received to date, followed closely by barley with only small parcels of wheat in the CBH system.
“Over the past few weeks we have been busy sharing information on how CBH has been preparing to receive, store and outturn this year’s above average crop, as well as what growers, contractors and transporters should do to be ready for harvest and delivery at CBH sites,” CBH Chief Operations Officer Mr Daw said.
“CBH is ready for harvest. We have built 1.25 million tonnes of low spec storage across 25 sites and purchased 10 new drive-over grids. In addition, over 500,000 tonnes of permanent spec storage has been added this year at eight sites, and throughput upgrades have been carried out a further six sites.
“For growers, we have created a handy preparation checklist to ensure they are set up to experience a smoother, more efficient service on site with CBH this harvest.
“In addition, CBH has a dedicated Harvest page on the website, which contains a handy reference point and useful documents and information, including the 2025/26 Harvest Guide.
“Finally – but most importantly – please think and act safely. Harvest is always a busy time, but we must put the safety of our teams, growers, and everyone that comes to our sites above everything else.”
This is the first weekly Harvest Report for the 2025/26 season and we look forward to keeping you up-to-date.
