The same factors were influencing market trends with vegetable matter having the greatest influence. Better low VM types continue to attract good demand with some variation in the inferior and faulty types. The was a significant disparity […]
Comment Another variable result this week with the market up on Tuesday and down on Wednesday but it was the inferior offering that is attracting most market comment. As a result of seasonal conditions, the selection is vastly different to what we would normally have available. There is more VM, more colour and the micron […]
