The organic cereals market

Update from Simon Tubbs, Norton Organic, April 2012



Organic grain markets have been quietly firmer over the last month. UK wholesale buyers continue to trade on a hand to mouth basis, and seem content to leave forward buying alone at present.

Stocks of wheat in particular are becoming scarce. Cooler weather has stimulated some nearby feed demand, and recent rains have helped new crop yield prospects in the drier regions.

Old crop prices are still significantly higher than harvest values, so those with stocks still to sell should now consider making sales before prices dip in the run up to harvest.

If you would like a firm quote relevant to your sample and location please call us on 01787 210899.
