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.”
