Irish farmers urged to monitor grain market trends

Global factors such as rising fuel prices, geopolitical tensions, and interruptions in international trade are increasingly influencing agricultural markets, particularly grain prices. These external pressures create uncertainty for Irish tillage farmers who rely heavily on stable energy costs, supply chains, and transport routes.

Rory Deverell, CEO of Black Silo Commodity Consulting, explores these dynamics in the first episode of a three-part series on global grain markets. He discusses the European grain harvest, the effects of the conflict in Ukraine on international grain flows, and reasons behind the recent downturn in grain prices.

For those interested in gaining further insight into these complex issues, the Tillage Edge podcast offers a detailed overview and practical advice. The series is produced for Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com and is accessible online for farmers and stakeholders seeking guidance on managing market fluctuations effectively.
