Market Report

All markets have reacted strongly to the events in the Gulf over the last few weeks, and the continued uncertainty it brings as it drags on with mixed messages as to resolution, or otherwise, seen every week.
An immediate impact has been increased rates for both domestic haulage rates (+10% surcharges are not uncommon as we go to press), and upward freight rates for bulk shipping and container traffic.
This before the increased costs felt at home on farms for fuel, inputs and any exposure to energy needs.
Prices have therefore lifted quickly, but both buyer and seller alike are nervous of fixed pricing unless for immediate business. Forward prices will remain volatile, and therefore little trade is taking place, although many participants are checking/updating price direction on a regular basis.
Weather has now improved, and we feel that crop prospects look favourable for the forthcoming harvest. Organic premiums remain strong despite an uplift in conventional cereal values recently.
