In October the UK average spot price was £181.50/t, nearly £60.00/t more than in October 2017 and the highest monthly price since May 2013.

UK oat production is estimated to be 2 per cent lower than in 2017 by Defra, while milling demand in July-September was up nine per cent on the same period last season, according to AHDB senior analyst Helen Plant.

 

“Demand and trade levels going forward will be key to how prices evolve in the coming weeks and months. The first official UK supply and demand forecasts will be out at the end of this month and will incorporate this data and more,” she says.
