Trading is going well on the roughage market. Traders are satisfied with the volume being put away and the prices are stable, even though the offer for some products seems slightly larger. Protein-rich by-products are rising in price.
The recent sharp increase in the price of soy ensures that spent grain is still a good addition to rations. Prices for spent grain have been increased by various suppliers. Other protein-rich by-products are also rising in price. Traders expect little change in market sentiment until dairy farmers can include fresh grass in their rations again. The indicative price for spent grain this week is €3,25 per percent dry matter. That is €0,05 more than last week.
Roughage trade stable
Left and right, traders are reporting about more available roughage, especially straw. However, the demand for straw is also there and the extra volume can be sold at the same prices. The indicative prices for straw are around €132,50 per tonne, free of charge. We also see stable indicative prices for meadow hay: €185 per tonne. This reports on good demand for the product, especially from horse owners. The indicative prices for red fescue (€145 per tonne) and meadow meadow (€135 per tonne) are also stable, as are those for perennial ryegrass (€130 per tonne). Unchanged prices are also charged for grass silage: €72,50.
Feed potatoes
Feed potatoes are still not or hardly available. Processors are still happy to take up all the supply and there are hardly any leftover potatoes.
