General Notes
-
All pool estimates are quoted net of the Product fee, which is $6.90 per metric tonne.
-
It is important to understand that the "Estimated Silo Return" (ESR) is an estimate and as such, will vary over time.
-
The "Estimated Silo Return" (ESR) for a storage site approved for the delivery of wheat into the AWB Pool is calculated as the estimated Pool return (EPR) plus any applicable "site discount" less the estimated "site to sea" costs involved in receiving, storing and moving wheat from the storage site to port/s and onto a vessel.
-
This ESR Selector shows sites anticipated to be open for the relevant Pools.
- Some New South Wales sites located close to the Victorian border are shown in the Victorian State Selector to reflect estimated freight costs to the least cost path destination port.
- Please note that the estimate for WA sites is only for CBH 'Destination Sites'.
- Bin grades accepted at each site and the list of active sites may change without notice during harvest. AWB therefore recommends that you regularly check for service availability and unlisted sites as follows:
-
- Ask your local storage operator whether your local sites are active this season.
- Contact the AWB Grower Service Centre on 1800 447 246 or make an on-line enquiry to Ask AWB prior to delivery to confirm what Bin grades are accepted at your preferred site.
Information on site availability via the ESR Selector is updated fortnightly.
Site-To-Sea cost estimates are updated regularly. There are three categories of cost that make up the estimated "site to sea" costs and a separate column that indicates where a BHC offers "site discounts" to attract grain. These columns are:
1 Estimated Pool Return (EPR) is the Free on Board (FOB) GST exclusive price quoted for each pay grade. This FOB pricing indicates the customer taking on ownership of the grain as it is loaded onto a vessel at the port.
2 Up country storage cost estimates refer to charges applied by storage agents for the receival, storage and out loading to road and rail transport for wheat. It also includes a calculation of the cost associated with a component of the shrinkage factor applied by storage agents to account for loss of weight associated with handling grain.
3 Freight cost estimates relate to the calculated cost associated with moving grain from each storage through to the relevant port or ports. At some sites the calculation takes into account multiple freight modes (road and rail) and operators. The estimate may also include the potential for grain to be directed to more than one port.
4 Port cost estimates refer to the provision of bulk handling services at the port. BHC port services include the receival by road and rail, storage, blending and the loading of vessels and a component of the shrinkage factor applied by BHCs.
