WHEAT prices have remained unchanged to a little firmer, owing to slow release from farms. News that Ukraine wheat may now be allowed into Brazil helped in sentiment, in that it is another home for their surplus.
Oilseed prices have firmed significantly on old crop and are a little firmer on new crop. This is because of much firmer US markets following good demand for soya products and adverse weather in S America. Expansion of the biofuels industry in US also helped firm things up.
