Creating profitable and sustainable demand for cereals inevitably includes stimulating demand in overseas markets. By growing what the market requires, producers increase their opportunity to receive a premium and maximise returns. BCE is HGCA’s exports team responsible for facilitating trade of cereals as whole grain. This section includes information for growers on this important market.
Overseas buyers have different requirements to domestic buyers. HGCA has developed the uks (soft biscuit wheat) and ukp (bread wheat) categories so overseas buyers who are unfamiliar with UK varieties can instantly understand what qualities the grain possesses.
Growers within reasonable reach of a port or exporter may consider selling their grain for export.
