Assured or non assured? 🤣🤣
well im considering to undercut you wether you are selling fa or non fa cos reckon im 50 mile less than you ,however we havnt asked wether its rolled or whole but either way the transport cost will be about £ 700 plus overnight so thick end of £ 1000 ,october wheat here is trading about 287 you are probably a tenner more ,im about £60/t to get it there.plus my margin £12/t so for 12t oh forgot capped load charge 20 t at£ 40 could do it for about £435/t
 
when shipping and trucking was cheap transport in or out of a country was £10

nowthat is nearer£30 to £40 so any country with water as the border the cost of importing is £30 or so
so ireland being a importing country or uk in a poor harvest year Spain is often an importing country


with out futures when prices got above £320 after the war broke out no one would have been able to price 2022 harvested crop before harvest

Joshing aside as / my post above i dont think we as farmers in the uk are anywhere near getting the price for our product wether horn or corn that the market can or is bearing. It costs to import and deliver to the customer yet we are being offered a price for our produce at the level of port of origin which could well be half way round the world

ah but you havnt factored in that the uk consumer is delighted to buy produce grown in the effluent used for irrigation pumped out from the nile as against those produced here
I doubt the consumer would give it much thought 4course. The onions looked same albeit packed in different coloured bags. Sorry digress.

We are at export parity for feed barley and wheat in a lot of the country, that’s why, if we needed to import them prices would be higher.

We have enough supply of grain from harvest to meet demand
So when the £ falls or overseas prices rise U.K. grain price rise
250 ish at Harvest now 280 ish

depending on £ s level or renewal of the grain corridor from the Black Sea prices have some upside
Another factor will be willingness of farmers to deliver before next may
