I suspect that exports are mostly managed with a collection of trade agreements which, because we love free trade so much, dont invisage a huge export tarrif being slapped on them.

the issue for the uk is logostics

there is more grain produced in the south than consumed in the south

if prices are between inport and export the norm
southern grain could be exported and midland and northeren grain moved north

but is the south has a good harvest the north not so good but haulage to get it north is high southern is exported and some is imported into the north
but if there is non available to import and the exported grain has gone from the south the uk will be short
storeing grain till the spring will pay big returns on investment but high risk of price calapses

Why is the price difference only being displayed for Nov on the London market?

What are your thoughts on this?

Must soon be the final nail in the coffin for pig, poultry, egg producers.

Unless prices rise dramatically in the shops and these increases passed onto producers.

Is anyone further up the chain even aware?
The boss of Greggs has said this morning their prices will have to increase up to 10% due to cereal prices and this mornings prices were referenced. An article in the Daily Mail online

Food inflation is going to be crazy. Putin might not be firing nukes at us but cost of living through increased gas, fuel and food prices will cause a lot of pain.
The grilling by MP’s of the Bank of England this week regarding why they haven’t foreseen inflation going through the roof could be very interesting as hiking interest rates will have no influence over food inflation except maybe curb production and increase costs through the whole supply chain so effectively chucking petrol on the fire.

700g of wheat to make a standard loaf of bread. (white)
1428 loaves from a ton.
At 180/t = 12p.
At £400/t = 28p.

I reckon that the cost of running my breadmaker has gone up 7p a standard loaf just from the electricity side.

Contrast this to the cost of running a car or filling up the kero tank and it really is nothing for us in the affluent west. Could cut the cost of bread by mandating everyone buy brown bread. I wouldnt like to hazard a guess at how many households throw away the end crusts of a loaf of white sliced....

There is no point in raising rates. This is all external factors and the only way through is to tighten belts.

For reference, a "strawberry and mint iced tea" at Costa Coffee is £3.20 for almost zero nutritional value. Throw in a cheese toastie and a chocolate tiffin and youve spaffed £9.70 on some fancy water; two slices of bread with some cheese in the middle; and sugar you dont need.

Putin will be siting back at the west's problems with a sly glee grate to see grain prices rise but if it cripples other sectors in the end it will not make grain growers smile super markets here can't see it or just not bothered ,they have way to much power.

Boe should have raised interest rates along time ago, they cannot raise them much now without ruining a good many. Nothing is going to curb food inflation apart from an ending to the war

It’s disastrous.

The retailers are fully aware but they don’t care, they can still get enough eggs/pork etc at the moment and I guess they think they’ll be able to import any shortages.

Then we have various packing companies between the farm and retailer, none of whom will tell the retailers the price is going up.
