Growers engaging with offers

Growers with grain were active in engaging the market by offering their grain for sale at the price they want in the first week of the new financial year.

Many prices offered were well above current published bids and often at or near recent price highs, so weren't attracting bids close to their sell price.

However often firm bids placed on the offers were well above the levels indicated by best published bids with growers determining the real buy price by offering.

There's only upside in having your grain offered for sale on CGX and/or igrain. You can edit your offer anytime before it sells and you're only charged if it sells, it costs nothing to offer.

By growers offering their grain for sale it is showing all buyers the prices growers are willing to sell for. This is impacting prices with grain often trading well above published bid prices.

Canola was attracting demand and trading in NSW through CGX last week up to $704/t Pt Kembla plus oil bonifications. APH2 traded $437/t Newcastle.
