ABB Grain was an agribusiness company based in Adelaide, South Australia. The company was involved in the storage, handling, and marketing of grain and other agricultural products. ABB Grain was established in 1939 and operated until its merger with Viterra in 2009.

History

ABB Grain was founded in 1939 as the Australian Barley Board, primarily to handle the marketing of barley. Over the years, the company expanded its operations to include other grains and agricultural products. In 1999, the Australian Barley Board was privatized and became ABB Grain Ltd.

In 2009, ABB Grain merged with Viterra, a Canadian agribusiness company, to form one of the largest grain handling and marketing companies in the world.

Operations

ABB Grain's operations included the storage, handling, and marketing of various grains such as wheat, barley, canola, and sorghum. The company operated a network of grain storage facilities and provided services to farmers and other stakeholders in the agricultural industry.

Merger with Viterra

In 2009, ABB Grain merged with Viterra, a move that significantly expanded the company's global reach and capabilities. The merger was seen as a strategic move to enhance the competitiveness of both companies in the global agribusiness market.
