[QUOTE="wanton dwarf, post: 7856525, member: 5903"] Millers "Imported Wheat Assurance". [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ukflourmillers.org/post/imported-wheat-assurance[/URL] "Wheat imported by UK millers is generally more expensive than UK supplies, because of its protein characteristics and high protein content. At end October 2021 AHDB was quoting a delivered price for UK bread wheat in Northamptonshire of £225 per tonne; in the same week, German E wheat – the type mainly imported by millers – was quoted at £265 per tonne, US spring wheat about £300 and Canadian wheat was around £350 per tonne. Not surprisingly, therefore, millers prefer to maximise use of home-grown wheat provided it is of the right technical standard and comes with the necessary level of assurance." Now I know we've grown Wheat WAY above 13% Protein, I think [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] also touched on this in a post I seem to remember talked about growing high protein Wheat. UK farmers can and DO grow high protein wheat. The question is - who is restricting the market so that UK farmers are not getting £265 to £350 a tonne ? The UK markets is disfunctional and broken, some might say corrupt. [/QUOTE]
