Low feed prices hamper trade in the new wheat harvest

Almost no deals made by the new wheat crop, said agency Almost no deals made by the new wheat crop, said agency Focus, by referring to the President of the Association of Bulgarian zarnoproizvoditeli Stelian Stoyanov.

The reason is the low prices that retailers offer to manufacturers.

According to Stoyanov tonne wheat traders are currently offering 200 euro, which is 100 less than the price per tonne delivered last year. The price of 200 euro per tonne of production does not cover these costs and therefore the manufacturers not to sell, he said.

With 30% less will be the production of wheat in the country compared with last year, predicted Stoyanov.

This should oskapi wheat, but not receive, because 20 years of grain market is not dictated by the manufacturers and traders.

In Dobrudja to reap 350 to 400 kilograms of acres, but in other parts of the country has a lot problems with the start of harvest because of rains. In Dobrudja, in the words of Stoianov almost not rained.

Bulgarian zarnoproizvoditeli sell at lower prices than their counterparts in Romania, or Greece, since the capacity of the port for loading the grain is small, he said. Typically, grain is loaded in the port of Varna, Bourgas and Balchik. Loading it with a crane, not vacuum systems – both the port of Constanta (Romania).

We have the most outdated equipment to ports for loading, compared with other modern ports. This means that instead of goods for one day about 10 thousand tonnes of cargo we have five or six days. This oskapyava cost of loading and chartering of vessels Stoyanov explained.

Romanian entrepreneurs as more aggressive and offer more attractive prices and Constanta loaded faster, more intense and have more modern facilities for loading, he said. When the goods less a day, it will buy less.
