Elders Relocates WA Wool Operations to Melbourne
Elders Limited has announced a strategic operational shift that will significantly reshape Australia's wool industry infrastructure. The company plans to cease its Western Australian wool handling and marketing operations by mid-2027, consolidating these functions to Melbourne, Victoria. This decision reflects broader challenges facing the wool sector, particularly the declining production volumes across Western Australia, which has historically been a major wool-producing region. The relocation represents a major restructuring for Elders, one of Australia's largest agricultural services companies. By moving wool operations eastward, the company aims to optimize efficiency and reduce operational costs in response to market realities.
