Wingara AG (WNR) is planning to install an additional hay press at JC Tanloden’s (JCT) Raywood hay processing facility in an attempt to increase export volumes.

The agreement will see capacity at Raywood increase to more than 100,000 mega tonnes per annum.

With current market conditions, JCT is anticipating the additional capacity to be fully utilised.
