[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7292672, member: 166"] That's a fair point too. Part of the reason that it is cheaper to import than buy domestically is that ex farm prices can be higher. A local merchant was able to buy a 4000t boat of Danish wheat cheaper in August than they could buy it ex farm in Yorkshire to keep their consumers supplied. I'm sure you've read market reports that we aren't "export competitive" occasionally. You could argue that the merchant is just trying to talk the market down but it happens. Then it's just a calculation to see if they can get it ex port and ex store cheaper than ex farm, double handled or not. [/QUOTE]
