Market Report

Markets remain largely confined to nearby positions whilst arable harvesting gets fully underway in the UK.

Conventional markets saw very erratic pricing movement recently, with some big gains followed by prices falling away equally quickly only 48 hours later. This was mainly due to geopolitical issues in Iran, and also rising tension in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, along with shipping disruption and volatile oil markets. We also have cropping outturn issues following the assorted heatwaves seen throughout most grain producing regions. In short, all a bit of a mess as we go to press.

Domestically, some areas of the UK look set to complete cereal harvesting in July, which must be fully three weeks ahead of schedule. We have yet to see many samples but early reports suggest quality is good, but some yields have been hit hard. Organic premiums have remained stable, but will track prevailing conventional sentiment to some extent.

As usual, it would be good to avoid selling off the combine if possible, since the early harvest this year has added to available stock seeing as most mills will have already made provision for old crop supply until late August.

We would strongly suggest that growers get samples to their buyers without delay so that informed and relevant marketing decisions can be made on individual farm parcels.
