Grain and oilseed prices for Melbourne, Adelaide, Oaklands

Canola prices are at $830 in Victoria this week to maintain an upward trajectory. See how prices for crop commodities are tracking.

Global market pressure and the unsettling news of tariffs has failed to dent grain and oilseed markets with prices remaining firm or increasing slightly in the past week.

Canola is continuing to trend at $830 a tonne in Victoria, $758 a tonne in Adelaide, South Australia, and $768 a tonne at Oaklands, NSW.

Wheat prices have also held ground and are quoted at $381 a tonne in Melbourne for H2 categories.

Agricultural consultant Colin Peace said in a week when global markets were in turmoil and the US imposed tariffs on imports from more than 100 countries was announced, local grain markets had held up surprisingly well.

“Trade bids for current season wheat and barley into the handling systems are up $3 and $1 a tonne respectively,” he said.

“More buying interest in the delivered end user markets also pushed up Melbourne prices for AGP grade wheat, up $4 a tonne, to $364 and BAR1 grade barley up to $357 a tonne,” he said.

The rises in the market was attributed to dry weather.

“Last week on the Chicago exchange, wheat futures were $1.80 a tonne lower and corn $6.90 a tonne higher, while on the French exchange wheat futures were $5.90 a tonne higher,” he said.
