(21st November)
Organic wholesale markets are firming as we see some winter weather stimulating additional nearby feed demand, along with the tighter supply background situation as referred to in our previous report.
While most buyers have good cover levels, we are now seeing ‘top up’ activity occurring, and particularly so for wheat. Barley and oat demand however is still fairly low key.
Premiums over the non organic market are being maintained, and if anything are looking to widen as we look to early New Year trading positions.
We are still of the opinion that the market will likely remain firm for the second half of the marketing season.
