Global grain markets: What Irish farmers need to know

Global events are having an increasingly direct impact on agricultural markets, with rising fuel costs, geopolitical tensions and disruptions to international trade all influencing grain prices.

Grain markets depend heavily on energy prices, global supply chains and reliable transport routes. Disruptions caused by conflict, weather events or logistical challenges can quickly feed through to market prices, creating uncertainty for Irish tillage farmers.

In the first of a three-part series examining global grain markets, Rory Deverell, CEO of Black Silo Commodity Consulting, joins The Tillage Edge to discuss the key factors influencing grain prices and what Irish farmers can do to better manage market volatility.

In this episode, Rory examines the European grain harvest, the ongoing impact of the war in Ukraine on international grain flows, and the factors behind the recent decline in grain prices.
