IAOM Middle East Operative Millers Conference

Basis Commodities MD, Chris Whitwell has just returned from a trip to the Middle East to formally welcome our new GM in Dubai, Nader Hassan to the business and to speak at the annual IAOM Middle East Operative Millers Conference on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania.

This is the 17th he’s attended.

With over 525 people registered for the conference, it was a great networking event with good discussions covering a number of different technical and market topics.

In particular, Chris was involved in a successful panel session covering the strategies employed by successful millers to manage wheat price volatility.

This was a fantastic opportunity to catch up with suppliers and customers all in one place.

While at the conference, Chris was also able to tour Stone Town, the UNESCO heritage listed centre of Zanzibar City.

An amazing place with hospitable people.

A huge thank you to Said Salim Bakhresa Group and the organising committee of the IAOM for their efforts to make our stay so memorable.

Basis Commodities and BALCO Australia visit GCC

7 January 2025

During the last quarter of 2024, Basis Commodities and BALCO Australia embarked on a major marketing push through the GCC visiting dairy and equine customers benefiting from BALCO Australia’s oaten hay exports. The delegation included BALCO Australia CEO, Rob Lawson, Basis Commodities Managing Director Chris Whitwell, and Basis Commodities General Manager Dubai, Musab Jafar. Chris Whitwell, said it was a very busy few weeks, but well worth the time and investment. “This is an important and expanding market for oaten hay, with the growth in dairy production in the region,” Mr Whitwell said. “We’re pleased our connections in these areas have been able to assist BALCO Australia to expand into more markets and continue to grow and improve their oaten hay exports into the Middle East, while benefiting customers in the region with quality produce.”
