CHRUDIM. After holding on to their seeds for a long time several farmers have decided to sell this week, after holding out for a long time. Question is whether this is a short-term phenomenon or a real turnaround.

 

Good-bye, season high!
We need more than just the air we breathe to sustain ourselves, which is why a few Czech farmers decided to announce their own offers to traders.

Even though prices will not reach the season high of 2.90 EUR/kg of the beginning of last week, the prices on offer are still significantly more expensive than a few days ago in ranging at 2.65 EUR/kg DDP Germany.
