Primaries of WA Pty Ltd was established as a wool broker in 1981. In 1998 Primaries of WA acquired the wool and livestock business and premises of Cargill Australia Pty Ltd (Western Australia division), allowing expansion into the livestock business within Western Australia.
Tasmanian based Roberts Ltd purchased shares in Primaries of WA in 1998. The relationship with Roberts provided Primaries of WA with a national footprint and the resources to continue its rapid expansion in the WA market. It has facilitated the provision of additional services outside wool and livestock marketing which include real estate, merchandise (CRT), finance and insurance.
In 2006, Roberts merged with Ruralco Holdings Ltd and in 2014 Ruralco acquired 100% ownership of Primaries of WA.
In 2016, Primaries of WA merged with FarmWorks Australia and The Farm Shop. These two businesses were also 100% Ruralco owned and have provided WA customers with general merchandise, farm chemicals and fertiliser. The merger created Primaries/CRT, now offering our WA clients a wider range of agricultural marketing services and farm inputs.
Local service, local knowledge and local independence. This is Primaries of WA point of differentiation.
Primaries maintain their own culture, service models and unique value propositions – all designed to meet the demands of our local markets, and to make the most of West Australian conditions and opportunities.
