Roughage prices look stable, brewer's grain also fixed

Traders report that trade in most products continues largely unchanged, but that it is certainly not overly busy. Dairy farmers seem to be showing less interest in silage maize and silage at the moment. The indicative price for silage grass has taken a small step back to €70 per tonne, while silage maize remains unchanged at €72,50 per tonne. Unchanged indicative prices also apply to other roughage such as straw (€130 per ton), meadow hay (€185 per ton), fescue (€145 per ton), meadow meadow (€130 per ton) and perennial ryegrass (€130 per ton).

Beer spent grains are in short supply
While parties talked about a slightly more relaxed market situation last week, they still describe the supply as tight as ever this week. Due to carnival, several breweries have been closed for a number of days, or so it sounds. The demand for spent grain remains high for the time being. The indicative prices remain stable at €3,25 per percent dry matter. Price expectations for spent grain also remain positive for the longer term. According to traders, the heated raw materials market as a result of the war in Ukraine will ensure that the price for by-products such as spent grains will continue to be supported in the longer term. Feed potatoes are still not or hardly available, and the sporadic lots that are traded are often described as too expensive by many buyers.
