Demand starts to grow as buyers seize limited opportunities for grain

Demand for Grains Grows in Australia

Buyer demand for grains in Australia has increased as domestic users seek to cover their needs before the new crop harvest.

Some exporters are also buying to accumulate and carry old crop as a precaution before executing on early shipping slots.

This has led to many grain prices rising closer to grower targets last week.

28 grades of wheat, barley, canola, lentils, lupins, maize, and oats were traded.
37 buyers purchased grain nationally through Clear Grain Exchange and igrainX.
Buyers were active across various markets, including Queensland, NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia.

Growers with capacity are able to take advantage of conditions.
