Grain trade prices for Australia Grain (wheat, barley, Sorghum, Lupins, Canola, Faba Beans, Oats, Chickpeas and lentils)

  • Wheat markets off slightly on Friday night.

  • Corn basically unchanged and beans found some love.

  • The ASX Jan 2023 wheat contract, traded down to $378.50 per tonne on Friday. This contract has fallen $25 per tonne since the start of the year.

  • March ASX wheat is trading at $385 per tonne.

  • The VIC Track Market is trading between $390 to $400 per tonne for APW wheat, which is off around $10 per tonne in the last week.

  • Australian FOB (Free On Board) values have fallen USD $4 (AUS $6 per tonne) per tonne since the week before Christmas.

  • At $390 Track, equals a FOB equivalent value of USD $302 FOB per tonne, which is around USD $50 under actual Australian East Coast FOB values.


  • The market has softened as the concerns about a large quality downgrade on the East Coast has been dismissed.

  • The world is also comfortable with the large supplies of wheat from Russia, Canada, and Australia, offsetting the tighter supplies from Argentina and Ukraine.

  • On the flipside, APW on the West Coast is trading at $50 premium to the East Coast, due to reduced supply and lower protein being produced in a high yielding season.

  • WA export values are quoted at USD $357 FOB, or AUD $490 FIS (Free In Store), which is AUD $40 over where the domestic market is being offered.

  • With ASW trading at $350 FIS Kwinana, which is a discount of AUD $90 per tonne to APW in WA, the price differences to export ASW wheat onto the world market are far greater than loading APW.

  • Australian feed wheat was sold to Asia last week at $345 CNF (Cost & Freight), which works back to $445 FIS WA for feed wheat.

  • This business could be executed from WA with an export difference of ~AUD $100 per tonne.



  • Hence, either export APW at AUD $40 difference or sell your hard earned ASW as feed wheat at a difference of ~AUD $100.

  • Real SFW wheat is trading around AUD $380 Track on the East Coast, which is just under USD $300 FOB.

  • So, to load the real quality against this sale, the difference to export is less than AUD $40 per tonne.

  • Note: The export differences are Gross, before other costs such as finance and demurrage.
