WAFarmers Pools

Since March 2009, Emerald has operated a marketing alliance with farm advocacy group the Western Australian Farmers Federation (WAFarmers). This partnership sees Emerald manage Wheat, Barley and Canola Pools designed specifically for WAFarmers members. The relationship was initially established because of concerns that the process of deregulation could lead to a number of marketing services and product features disappearing from the Western Australian grain market.

The WAFarmers Pools have since been a very succesful grain marketing option for many WAFarmers members. The pool returns value to its participants through generous premiums, industry leading quality rewards and competitive finance options.

WAFarmers Pools:

The WAFarmers Pools have enjoyed great success and returned the financial benefits back into the pockets of both participating members and the WAFarmers Federation. Taking into account market leading quality rewards and early contracting premiums, participants in the WAFarmers Pools are receiving net returns as good as, or better than, competing pools.  

The Early Order Premium Program

The Early Order Premium (EOP) program is a pre harvest contract that rewards you for your early commitment. From a grain marketing perspective, your early commitment allows our grain traders, in conjunction with Sumitomo, to get a head start on sales in to international and domestic homes. This allows us to monitor the market and look for pricing opportunities prior to physically receiving the grain, returning the value to the pool participants.
