EU Rapemeal Prices

29/04/13 -- Rapemeal prices on the continent are firmer on old crop and weaker on new crop today. Tight availability due to reduced crush and seasonal downtime is keeping May/Jul offers fully steady.

Some improvement in new crop rapeseed production prospects trims offers for August onwards a little, although rapemeal prices for the winter are still at historically high levels when compared as a percentage of soymeal values.

Consumer interest in these forward positions is therefore minimal for the time being.
