Ireland: Barley growers warned on barley prices and offered premiums for surplus supplies

Grain growers were warned on September be price wise and not sell their crop at last year’s prices, when deals far in excess of those returns are being offered.

Paddy Harrington, IFA Grain Committee chairman announced EUR 102 – EUR 105/tonne at 20% moisture exclusive of VAT is available on deals for barley and wheat from grain merchants, with up to EUR 110 /tonne obtainable on grain traded at 20% moisture inter-farm.

The growers of malting barley who have supplied tonnage above their contracts are offered premia of EUR 8 - EUR 10/tonne.
