Approaching an exporter

It is useful to talk to potential buyers, including exporters, to learn more about their market requirements.

Some key points you will need to establish are:

  • Which countries do you supply?
  • What specifications are required by your customers?
  • Which varieties are particularly important for their needs?

Milling wheat for export is a food ingredient so careful and safe storage is essential. Overseas millers request assurance standards are met in the same way as UK millers. Separation of varieties in store is essential, particularly in ensuring the integrity of ukp and uks brands. Click here for more information on grain storage.

Consider the ease of loading lorries at your store – delays on farm can affect the exporter’s ability to meet an export contract, particularly when loading a large vessel with a tight schedule due to tide times. Ensuring you are a reliable and consistent supplier will only help you future marketing.
