WHEAT prices have remained unchanged over the week although there are signs that we may export some wheat come the new year. This is on the back of better export subsidies by Brussels and some disease and pesticide problems with Ukrainian wheat. The only problem is that EU has a lot of wheat to sell and buyers will quickly revert to Black Sea wheat if ours gets too expensive.
Oilseed markets have moved down as one US crusher announced it would crush less soya because of low margins.
