Blue Lake Milling is
Australia's largest manufacturer of oat-based products and now they plan to
increase their exports to South East Asia after a profitable merger with CBH.
The merger was completed in July and will allow Blue Lake to use the market
access and financial banking of CBH as a way of inceasing production at their
two processing facilities in South Australia and western Victoria.
Ben Abbot, CEO of Blue
Lake Milling (BLM), stated that the merger came about as a consequence of
exponential demand for oats in Asia and a desire for CBH to gain more access
across the value chain.
The CBH Group is the
largest grain co-operative in Australia, running grain handling, transport and
marketing operations across the country.
The merger adds the
milling and manufacturing expertise of BLM with access to CBH's major stores of
grain in Western Australia.
Mr Abbott said having
access to a secure supply of milling oats from the west will be extremely
beneficial to BLM's export markets.

"Having that
assured supply if things go wrong in the eastern states gives us the confidence
that we can go out and hit some of these markets in Asia, knowing that we will
have the ability to supply."
