[QUOTE="riverside2, post: 4887438, member: 41890"] Gap between the best and worst appears to be widening. Prices on the West are generally £80-90, maybe £100-110 for best Agria. Merchants on the East tell me that generally the range is £100-120 with £130-140 for best gear although I was hearing one of the big players asking £160 last week. A recurring theme does appear to be that waste levels are higher everywhere and with delays in planting there may be a bit more pressure on the job at the very end than expected. Factories are all banking on old crop for their week 1 programmes. The battle is going to be getting the bag trade buyers to take the 'right' price when new season material is on the market. Was in a midlands chippy the other day and got chatting - owner was paying £5 delivered for a nice sample, and when I suggested it needed to be more as the growers were only getting £2-£2.50 of that he just said that it made up for him paying £15 the previous season. I suggested an average season would be good where the grower got a level £4 ex through the season and he paid £6.50-£7 delivered. He said that was way too much, if he can buy at £5 this year then he might consider £6 but that would be his lot...................... [/QUOTE]
