Sounded like they are having weather issues and are trying to calm domestic prices ,Reasons given are?
Drought/ heatwave and will need everything to feed their own population?
Hold out until the price sky rockets next autumn when the enormity of export shortages from the Ukraine finally sinks in to the world?
Just the beginnings of the chickens coming home to roost ....Sounded like they are having weather issues and are trying to calm domestic prices ,
Be interesting to see. Not sure how the emerging markets would cope, I expect they're barely managing at current prices.In terms of numbers, they were expecting 110m ton harvest and 10m tons of exports. Now they're saying 100m tons ....and they've already shipped a million tons out. If their harvest is under 95m tons then we're starting to talk big numbers and serious global stock issues.
£400/t for wheat? 500?
Not sure how the pig and poultry sectors here will cope, however I'm sure it will all be fine the clever people are all telling us we can plant trees, rewild the countryside and plant crops to capture carbon from flights round the world.Be interesting to see.

Prices will rise. There won't be any starving Brits. BBC today had two articles about folk pawning their expensive laptop and kids Xbox. I'm currently in town and the carpark is full of folk in newish German cars; going to the gym; families in Costa all on their phones. There are plenty of notches on most families belts if they choose to use them.Not sure how the pig and poultry sectors here will cope, however I'm sure it will all be fine the clever people are all telling us we can plant trees, rewild the countryside and plant crops to capture carbon from flights round the world.
Why would they want to do that, they expect the government to fix it for themPrices will rise. There won't be any starving Brits.

I'm afraid I really don't care about the fiscal decisions of most people. The only surity is that the govt will bail out the majority.Why would they want to do that, they expect the government to fix it for them

They could at least legalise and tax marijuana. Then could raise some dosh, cut crime, stimulate demand for KitKat's, and chill out a bit.
Fat reserves for winter.Why else do you think they're not yet banning BOGOF deals on chocolate bars and sugary treats
600 would be the equivalent in today's money to where the 70s equilibrium eventually settled down after endless energy price and wheat supply shocks.£400/t for wheat? 500?
We are always in famine. You know what happens when food is in short supply you eat less it’s simple. My last wheat here sold for £315 a tonne now its £380. People here don’t eat much meat generally it’s maize meal and spinach. Want to solve world hunger ? Plant cabbage and eat your greens.Northern Kenya / Ethiopia are apparently already at famine.
I know the current focus is on "poor Ukraine" but they don't have quite the issues of getting asylum or world sympathy etc than those folk in Africa.
