“There will be anywhere from 2 million to 2.5 million tonnes of grain going over east,” he said.
“We’ve done shipments to the east coast before but nothing close to this. I would imagine this will be a record.”

The group will have added about 900,000 tonnes of permanent grain storage at Wheatbelt sites by the end of the year but because of the bumper Kwinana harvest it has been forced to create more than one million tonnes of emergency storage.
