Gourmet Garden offers a doorstep delivery service of a wide range of zero-contamination vegetables and fruits and other curated essential offerings
The company looks to deploy the funds to expand its zero contamination farming operations, broaden portfolio with additional categories, and boost customer experience
India’s agritech market is estimated to reach $24.1Bn by 2025
Fruits and vegetable D2C brand Gourmet Garden has announced its latest round of funding of INR 25 Cr led by Beyond Next Ventures, M Venture Partners, and existing investors Incubate India and Whiteboard Capital among others.
Founded in early 2019, by Arjun Balaji, an erstwhile partner at McKinsey and Company and Vishal Narayanaswamy, Gourmet Garden offers a doorstep delivery service of a wide range of vegetables and fruits and other curated offerings.
The company plays on ‘zero-contamination’ USP in its farm produce. It has branches in Bangalore as well as Chennai.
With this funding, Gourmet Garden aims to expand their zero contamination farming operations, broaden portfolio with additional categories, boost customer experience by deploying an end-to-end B2C tech-enabled cold-chain, and improve ease of ordering with a mobile app and refreshed website.
“Essentials grown in certified organic farms along with an assortment of imported fruits make up our extended safe F and V range. In addition, we also offer a selection of authentic spices and dry fruits, and will soon be launching wholesome breads and organic sauces and dips for a wider range in fresh,” said Vishal Narayanaswamy, cofounder, Gourmet Garden.
The company claims to have 60,000 customers in Bangalore and Chennai alone with over 75% orders every month coming from repeated customers.
Tsuyoshi Ito, CEO, Beyond Next Ventures said, “We are delighted to see that their sustainable cultivation techniques and quality of succulent vegetables are comparable to those in Japan. The focus on affordable, high quality and safe fruits and vegetables is rising in urban India.”
With 58% of the population dependent on agriculture, India is a largely agrarian economy, and the growth potential of agritech is immense in the country, given this quality.
As per Inc42 Plus analysis, India’s agritech market is estimated to reach $24.1Bn by 2025. Indian agritech startups received a total funding of $467 Mn between 2014 and 2020. Additionally, according to data from our latest report titled India’s Agritech Market Landscape Report, 2020 ,the sector only had 43 startups in 2013 compared to more than 1,000 startups in 2021 today.
Now, this rapid growth was primarily driven by rise in rural internet penetration, rise in post-harvest and supply chain losses, growing investors’ interest in the sector, lack of finance and high-quality inputs for farmers. The statistical figures mentioned above, as well as the improvements in infrastructure, funding and other components prove the huge market potential for the agritech sector in the future.


The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service is planning a meeting for January 30, 2013, to help answer questions farmers may have and give them an idea of what developments could be coming.
The meeting is free and will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, with lunch served, at the Conway County Fairgrounds in Morrilton.
The agenda includes discussions on the farm bill, its current laws and regulations, and what changes could be coming down the pipe.
Speakers will also be on hand to discuss the ins and outs of crop insurance.

Lumatek full spectrum horticultural LED solutions balance light quality (spectra) with light quantity (intensity and duration) sufficient to provide single-source lighting for entire grow cycle from vegetative through flowering period. The array of LEDs create a uniform spread of light at short distance to the crop enabling single source grow lighting for multi-layer cultivation systems, single benches in low rooms and grow tents. The Zeus is built using high quality Lumatek drivers and top bin LEDs from LUMLED and Osram generating a full-spectrum light source ideal for veg and flowering cycles.
For different cultivars, propagation and vegetative growth periods the Zeus may be dimmed without losing efficiency. The high efficiency and low powered LED configuration with six LED bars reduces the temperature of the LEDs increasing the output and improving light maintenance. The Zeus fixture can also be externally controlled with a Lumatek digital lighting controller featuring automated dimming, temperature safety control, Sunrise & Sunset Mode for up to 100 fixtures per controller.Lumatek Zeus LED Fixtures can be fully controlled with either the Lumatek Digital Panel or with any other Control System that utilises 0-10V output signal. Even if your Universal Controller has an RJ port interface, you can still run our LEDs by using a signal converter RJ to 0-10V control adaptor. Compared to regular open HPS/MH solutions the Zeus can achieve 30-40% less HVAC capacity.

Burundi Nemba - Washed
Producer: Nemba CWS (Coffee Washing Station)
Varietal: Red Bourbon
Roasting Profile: Filter, Aeropress, French Press
The 2016 harvest was our first year importing directly from Burundi. We partnered with a new export partner who shares similar social values as ourselves. The washing stations are privately owned by our exporters, and employ local managers to manage the stations throughout the year, and employ seasonal workers from the surrounding area through the harvest season.
Each washing station employs 3 to 5 permanent workers and is run by a manager who is also the agronomist who provides farming advice to the local communities. The average pay for the regular workers is 300,000 Burundian Francs per month. This is double the pay of other competing washing stations in the area, and managers are provided housing with electricity, and a motor vehicle.
The washing station encourages producers to pick and deliver only the ripest cherries. Prior to coffee being delivered to the mill, the washing station has a pre-delivery area where producers float, hand sort, and float again, their cherry before delivery to the mill. Cherry is weighed, and producers receive a payment equivalent to the local market rate. They are then paid a quality premium at the end of the season. Their total price per kilo of cherry paid was an average of 490 Burundian Francs (BIF), this being 27% more than the market price of 360 BIF/kg for the 2016 season. In addition to this, each producer was paid a 20 BIF/kg bonus prior to Christmas.
Nemba was built in 1991. It purchases cherry from 3171 farmers off 435 acres of land surrounding the washing station and has a maximum production capacity of 1200 MT of cherry per year. Nemba has placed in several Cup of Excellence competitions, in 2013 it placed 2nd, in 2014 placed 11th and in 2015 placed 1st winning the overall competition.
After floating and hand sorting, coffee is delivered to the mill where it is then passed through the pulper removing all skin and mucilage. Coffee is then run through a serpentine to remove any additional floaters where it is then fermented for 12 hours before being laid out to dry. The coffee is constantly stirred throughout the day to ensure even drying, and it is covered at night to preserve heat in order to ensure drying occurs as evenly as possible.


SINGAPORE: Ample global rice stocks and buyers' reluctance to wade into a market many see as overpriced will put the brakes on a rally that saw the staple at 1-1/2 year highs this week and raised concerns about food inflation in Asia.Speculation over aggressive intervention by the new government in Thailand, the world's biggest exporter, has pushed the benchmark white rice to $615 a ton, the highest since December 2009, even though demand has remained thin with top importers largely covered.
The rally coincides with higher prices for other staples, reigniting worries about food inflation at a time when the global economic outlook is grim.
Asia is home to the world's top rice consumers and producers, as well as its two most populous nations India and China, which have declared war on inflation.
US wheat climbed this week to its highest level in nearly three months, a gain of 36 per cent from a July low and corn rose almost 25 per cent from the end of June to reach a 2-1/2 month high.
Rice prices are up more than 30 per cent since an April low, but traders said plentiful supply meant prices were unlikely to see a repeat of 2008, when the benchmark rose above $1,000 a ton and Vietnamese rice followed suit.
Thailand and fellow top exporter Vietnam are on track to produce bumper crops and India, the world's biggest rice producer after China, is expected to return to the market soon after the government in July eased an export ban in place since 2008.
“The market is reasonably well supplied and buyers are not rushing to cover as the price rise has been quite dramatic,” said Vijay Iyengar, managing director of Agrocorp International, a regional grains trader based in Singapore.
“I see limited upside for rice, and when the Indian situation gets resolved you will find additional material coming into the market.”
The first round of Indian exports one million tons has been blocked by a court after exporters complained about quota allocations, an issue the government is resolving.
Traders forecast Thai rice prices to be capped at around $700 a ton until the end of 2011, even as domestic market climbs towards $850 a ton after taking into account the government's paddy procurement price of 15,000 baht ($500) a ton and costs involved in processing, packaging and storage.
Vietnamese traders also said prices could advance by $20-$30 a ton but they will not reach the April 2008 peak. Vietnam's 5-percent broken rice stood this week at $550-$565 a ton, up around 18 per cent from a year ago.
No fresh demand
The world's top buyers in Asia, the Middle East and Africa are expected to hold back as the price of Thai white rice jumped more than 10 per cent in August.
“Demand will start rationing as we have seen in 2008,” said one Singapore-based trader, who declined to be identified in line with his company policy.—Reuters

I am sure they will eventually find something they are putting in our food is causing this.
Here is one possible explanation:
1. More and more crops are grown to be resistant to Roundup (active ingredient glyphosate). The adoption of glyphosate-tolerant corn is 89 percent of U.S. corn acreage in 2016. Based on USDA survey data, glyphosate-tolerant soybeans went from 17 percent of U.S. soybean acreage in 1997 to 94 percent in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Plantings of glyphosate-tolerant cotton expanded from about
10 percent of U.S. acreage in 1997 to 89 percent in 2015 and 2016. Of course some of that Roundup also gets into our water supply.
2. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has labeled glyphosate a probable carcinogen and it is banned in Europe.

Herbicides are expensive and there are many reasons that you might not want to use commercial-grade herbicides. They’re bad for the environment, in many cases, and you’re also contributing money to harmful industries. Using baking soda weed killer is a safer alternative to other unhealthy solutions.
But is it effective? Many people have suggested using baking soda weed killer, but others are unsure as to whether or not it’s actually worth your time. In this article we’re going to talk about the ways you can use baking soda to get rid of the weeds in your garden.
Why Use Baking Soda?
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is something that you probably have in your kitchen. It’s used often as an odor destroyer or in baking, but it also works well to kill weeds.
Many people are using baking soda weed killer because it helps to get rid of invasive plants without causing needless damage. On top of that, baking soda is dirt-cheap which makes it much more appealing than some of the more expensive options.
How to Use Baking Soda Weed Killer
The best thing you can do is make sure that you’re using the baking soda properly.
Before getting ahead of yourself, it’s a good idea to try out the baking soda on a couple of weeds. This will help you determine whether or not the baking soda will kill the weeds on your property. Some stronger, hardier weeds require more serious solutions.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to get your plants wet. You can do this without damaging them by using the mist setting on your hose. If you don’t have an adjustable hose nozzle, you can just use a watering can.
Next, sprinkle your baking soda on the plants. You’ll only need about a teaspoon per weed – if that. Smaller weeds require less. You want to make sure that you hit the whole plant, or at least all of its leaves.
You can also use baking soda in the cracks on concrete.
Pro Tips on How to Use Baking Soda Weed Killer
These are a few tips to help you get the most out of your baking soda.
- Make sure that you use it while the plants are young. If you’re reading this article late in the season, then you might not be able to follow this advice. Needless to say, using it on young, small plants requires much less baking soda and has a higher chance of killing them.
- Water the plants after a week or so. This helps any residual baking soda sink into the soil and into the root system of these weeds.
Now that you know how to use baking soda weed killer, you have a good reason to promote the use of natural herbicides.
This is one of the best ways to manage your property without doing any damage to the grass or other plants growing in your yard. You may also be interested to learn about how other natural substances, such as salt, can be effective weed killers.

The Morgantown Farmers Market is excited to be moving on to its summer season.
Saturday was the last Morgantown Winter Farmers Market. It was held at Marilla Park, but will be moving outdoors come May.
For the first half of the summer, the market will have a temporary location due to the construction of its new pavilion that has a few "bells and whistles" that the farmers are excited to have.
"They're particularly excited that we're going to have a commercial kitchen to go along with our pavilion, so we will be able to have cooking demonstrations. It will be great because people always ask, ‘Here's some Swiss Chard, what do I do with it? I have no idea,'" said market manager Lisa Lagana.
The new pavilion called the Morgantown Marketplace is to open in July. Until then, market will take place in the parking lot behind Daniel's at the corner or Fayette and Chestnut street.
Summer market is held every Saturday from 8 a.m. until noon.

With more than $22,000 in prize money at stake in the upcoming World Forage Analysis Superbowl, it’d be a shame to miss entry deadlines, say contest organizers.
Growers must enter their standard and brown midrib corn silage samples by Aug. 14 and hay, commercial hay, grass hay, haylage and baleage samples by Sept. 4.
The entry fee is $25 per sample, which includes a complete nutritional analysis of forage samples. Participants can submit multiple samples, and finalists will be notified in September.
Cash prizes will be awarded during the Mycogen Seeds Forage Superbowl Luncheon on Oct. 1 during World Dairy Expo. The Expo is slated for Sept. 30-Oct. 4 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI.
Each category winner, including the Quality Counts awards for silage and hay/haylage, will receive $1,500. Additional cash prizes will be awarded to the Grand Champion Forage, First-Time Entrant winner and second- through fourth-place winners in each category.
Winning entries will be on display in the Arena Building.
The Superbowl competition is organized in a partnership among Hay & Forage Grower, Dairyland Laboratories, Inc., DairyBusiness Communications, the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison and World Dairy Expo.

Guernsey's farmers will be paid more for their produce by Guernsey Dairy this year.
Farmers will receive a 5.9% increase on the price of the milk they provide the Dairy.
It reflects the significant rise in costs faced by farmers for feed, fertiliser, and other farm essentials over the past year.
It comes after an independent review of local farm costs took place, which has been warmly welcomed by local farmers.
The last increase given to farmers was in January 2020.
Guernsey Dairy's wholesale liquid milk price has increased by 4.8% from 2 January 2022.
This is below inflation since the last rise in January 2020, with RPIx from September 2021 showing an increase of 5.3%.
The rise in cost also reflects the increased costs seen by other supplies used in Guernsey Dairy's production processes, such as packaging.
Guernsey Dairy Managing Director Andrew Tabel has said it will be up to individual distributors and retailers to determine what price they sell milk for in the island.
He has emphasised that the increase in wholesale price is essential to the maintenance of the countryside and the 'unique' Guernsey cattle breed.


Question From: Deerfield, Illinois, United States
Q: 3 full size viburnims were planted a month ago. 1 is doing well. 2 look sick. Leaves curling up or gone. What do I have to buy and spray to get them back before I lose them? Thank you.
A: I can't answer that Sheri. Leaves usually curl from lack of water. They should be watered daily or every other day for the first couple of weeks if it doesn't rain. The bigger the shrub, the more water it needs. Hopefully the drainage is good. Do not fertilize them until next late autumn. Fertilizer can do more harm than good. Good Luck and Happy Yardening, Nancy.

Prices of wheat, pulses and beef went up in November on increased demand during the last three days leading to Ashura. Supplies also suffered due to truckers’ strike.
Sugar prices soared in November despite the fact that the country had enough stocks of the commodity and amid reports that the new crop was larger than expected. But an ease-off is expected this month when fresh cane crushing would pick up pace both in Sindh as well as in Punjab.
Commodity dealers say bulkier exports of 29,000 tonnes in October against only 8,200 tonnes in September and delay in cane crushing kept sugar supplies under pressure and pushed the prices up. Exports were in full steam till mid-November but shrank later on.
“We could have seen some ease off in prices by the end of November. But that didn’t happen because after firing their boilers, sugar millers in Sindh suspended production and controversy over support price and non-payment of overdues of cane growers also delayed cane crushing in Punjab,” says a Karachi’s Jodia Bazar-based commodity dealer.
Dealers say increased smuggling to Afghanistan via Waziristan was also responsible for high sugar prices in November. Most dealers, however, expect improvement in supplies this month. It’s a different issue though whether prices would also retreat amid costlier fuel and bank finances.
This year’s crop is expected to yield up to 70 million tonnes of sugarcane against the target of 65 million tonnes. Sugar production is being estimated at around 5.2-5.3 million tonnes. More than 400,000 tonnes of the sweetener is also in stocks. Some commodity traders say these factors can also start weighing on the pricing trend.
Prices of wheat flour further firmed up in November as wheat prices kept rising and the milling cost increased after upward revision of electricity prices. Higher landed cost of imported wheat and costlier transportation of the commodity also pushed up the prices. In October, Pakistan’s wheat imports rose to about 166,000 tonnes at an average landed cost of $3,590 per tonne, up from $3,530 per tonne in September when the country had imported 109,000 tonnes.
Total wheat output this year is being estimated around 25 million tonnes, slightly more than the country’s domestic demand. But commodity dealers say that importers lobby is busy speculating negatively about the next crop’s size, which also is responsible for wheat price hike. Wheat exports are no issue. Pakistan exported only 8,000 tonnes wheat in October and about 22,000 tonnes in four months of this fiscal year.
“Three things are generally being ignored,” a leading Karachi-based flour miller points out. First, smuggling of wheat and wheat flour to Afghanistan is increasing. Second, the food department is short-supplying subsidised wheat to the millers, forcing them to buy the commodity from the open market. And third, use of low-quality wheat, especially out of imported stocks of July and August, was very liberally used for feeding sacrificial animals this year.
“These factors are also keeping wheat supplies tight and prices up,” says the miller.
Prices of beef had slumped in October as households had stocked enough red meat of sacrificial animals after Eid-ul-Azha (which fell on October 17) but in November these prices returned to previous levels. Mutton prices remained almost unchanged.
Meat merchants fear that unabated smuggling of livestock to Iran and Afghanistan may push beef and mutton prices further up. One big reason for red meat price-hike during November was that the government had not banned meat exports during Eid-ul-Azha. The country exported about 3,900 tonnes of meat and meat products in October, data released by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics reveal.
Red meat’s demand also saw a big rise in November because it constitutes a basic ingredient of traditional Haleem that is cooked on large scale both at household level, as well by catering houses during Muharram.
Meanwhile, the arrival of winter has started affecting local supplies of some pulses that are grown in summer or autumn. Pulses became pricier in November also because of a two-week long strike of transporters who were demanding cut in the withholding tax rate. Muharram-led demand was also strong.
Earlier, prices of pulses had remained range-bound on adequate domestic supplies that had also reduced import volumes. In July-October this year total imports of pulses including that of Masoor and Mash stood around 145,000 tonnes, down 33 per cent from July-October last year.
Commodity dealers say that Mash pulse gained value in November because of higher import prices as a result of rupee depreciation and Moong gained due to dwindling stocks.
Pakistan produces Mash pulse equal to just one-third of its local needs and has to import the remaining two-third. Moong supplies became scant in winter as it is grown mostly in summer and autumn. After showing consistent gains from July to October, rice prices remained flat during November as output of non-Basmati varieties went up and in large parts of the country Basmati harvesting also commenced.
According to commodity dealers, prices could have even declined had there been no high export-led purchases and had the cost of transportation and storage not increased.
“Unlike in 2012, when Basmati prices around this time was rising rapidly due to supply constraints, this year’s prices are range-bound because of field reports of healthier harvest,” says a leading Karachi-based dealer.
He says that supply of Basmati rice from both Sindh and Punjab has picked up pace in the past few weeks, which is why prices are not shooting up, despite demand.

BEIJING, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- China's top economic planning agency said Thursday that it would let the market play a more decisive role in the pricing mechanism of agricultural products in 2014.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said it would "explore and try to push forward" reforms that would "decouple" the pricing regime of agricultural products from government subsidies.
China will set up a target price system for agricultural products in which low-income consumers would be subsidized when prices are too high and producers would receive subsidies when prices are too low, the NDRC said.
Currently, the government resorts to stockpiling and a "minimum purchase price" supported by government subsidies to regulate pricing.
The country will let the market play a "more decisive" role in the pricing of agricultural products "under the precondition that the benefits of farmers are protected," it added.
The NDRC will select products and regions in 2014 to carry out the reforms on a pilot basis.


Reflecting on past achievements: Jason Shields
The Syngenta Grower of the Year award recognises outstanding achievement across all aspects of horticultural production, including growing, environmental management, staff management and quality of produce. It also acknowledges grower commitment to innovation and advancing the Australian horticulture industry. In this edition, past winners Peter Schreurs, Jim Trandos, Scott Samwell and Jason Shields chat with Michelle De’Lisle about the award and its significance. The Syngenta Grower of the Year award will feature again in 2021 at the National Awards for Excellence, which will be held at Hort Connections in June.
Victorian apple and pear grower, Jason Shields, admits it has been a “rollercoaster” 18 months since winning the 2019 Syngenta Grower of the Year award at Hort Connections.
Jason is Orchard Manager at Plunkett Orchards, located in Shepparton in Victoria’s north-east. At the beginning of 2020, the business started to implement mechanised instruments to make on-farm work simpler. Harvesting machines, mechanical pruning and new software were introduced. However, it was a gamble that almost didn’t pay off.
“We started picking in January last year and while records weren’t being set, we were picking good quality fruit. But I was starting to doubt myself a little bit, because we weren’t necessarily picking the volume that we expected out of the machines or the people,” Jason explains.
“In February, I went over to New Zealand to talk to growers. They were relying on seasonal workers and everything they seemed to be doing was better, so I came back a little bit concerned. And then COVID-19 hit.
“From March onwards – once we started picking Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples – we had our best year ever with the harvesters.”
Plunkett Orchards is an example of how future-proofing a business can prevent major losses when an unprecedented event, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, occurs.
“That’s my philosophy: let’s future-proof our business to have stable employment going forward. We have to create a job that anyone can do,” Jason says.
“Seasonal workers are something that can be taken away from me; the Government could change its policies and say they can’t come in anymore and that is the same with backpacker schemes, which is what happened when the border was shut.
“You have to evolve with our climate, our people and our world, and I’m 100 per cent confident that we went the right way.”
Reward for effort
Jason’s journey with horticultural technologies began 15 years ago when he went to Europe for the first time.
“I started planting orchards based off an upcoming system. We think that using a sickle bar is the future in mechanical pruning,” he says.
“Then we brought in the platforms, which are also the harvesting machines. We took ladders away from our workers to start with; now we’re taking bags away and workers don’t have to use tractors. We’ve simplified everything and made it as easy as possible to work.
“I’m not aiming to set yield records. I’m trying to grow fruit as easily and as profitable as possible.”
It is Jason’s ingenuity and willing to share ideas and insight that earned him the 2019 Syngenta Grower of the Year award.
Jason says winning the award was a “humbling experience.”
“It has opened other people’s eyes to our business and the way we do things. At the initial point, there was a lot of interest, there were people wanting to come have a look at our operation,” he says.
Since winning the Sygenta Grower of the Year award over a year ago, Jason has learnt to have faith in business decisions, and he has advice for others currently in a similar situation.
“Trust the process. I went to New Zealand and doubted myself – I forgot about the whole reason behind why we did what we did. Believe in what you have done; have faith and confidence and keep working towards your goals.”

March wheat futures ended 4 1/2cents higher at $5.73 per bushel. The March soymeal futures contract finished $8.30 per short ton higher at $421.90. The March soyoil futures ended $0.39 lower at $32.84.
In the outside markets, the NYMEX crude oil is $0.88 per barrel lower, the dollar is higher and the Dow Jones Industrials are 130points lower.
The March corn futures contract is trading 1 1/4 cents higher at $4.34. The March soybean futures contract is trading 15 cents higher at $12.94. March wheat futures are 4 3/4 cents higher at $5.73 per bushel. The March soymeal futures contract is trading $7.00 per short ton higher at $420.60. The March soyoil futures are trading $0.36 lower at $37.87.
In the outside markets, the Brent crude oil is $0.60 per barrel lower, the dollar is higher and the Dow Jones Industrials are 33 points lower.
Soybeans have jumped, as export inspections were released Monday morning. Also, USDA announces that an 'unknown' buyer purchased 140,000 US beans for ‘13/14 delivery.
One analyst gives credit to soybeans' ability to move. "Soybeans are doing what soybeans do best…move. The market had seen a large sell off in recent days. They are simply recovering. A good export sale didn’t hurt either. Corn is still catching its breath from Friday."
A separate Chicago analyst sizes up the bean rally like this: "Beans were lower overnight, but the news of sales to unknown destinations, probably China, really turned this thing around. It is the only news I know of that could do this. Yield reports are very high in Brazil in both MT and now PR. My guys think maybe 93 million tons of production potential for the country and feel it could go higher. Wow, what a crop. So, one has to wonder about how far we can go on this, but the demand just does not quit for us. Corn had no real follow through from last week, kind of too bad. Even though the reports were bullish to expectations, it is not like we are going to run out of corn. Not sure why the wheat strength, but it was beaten up pretty hard last Friday. The market is just consolidating, I think," he says.
At the open:
The March corn futures contract is trading 1 cent lower at $4.31. The March soybean futures contract is trading 9 cents lower at $12.69. March wheat futures are 2 cents higher at $5.71 per bushel. The March soymeal futures contract is trading $4.00 per short ton lower at $409.60. The March soyoil futures are trading $0.18 lower at $38.06.
In the outside markets, the Brent crude oil is $0.43 per barrel lower, the dollar is higher and the Dow Jones Industrials are 20 points lower.
--S. Korea bought 137,000 tons of U.S. corn, over the weekend, that was originally headed to China.
--Egypt bought U.S. wheat, over the weekend. That tells you how cheap the U.S. wheat is, regarding the world market.

Agritechnica – 2015: Edge of Tomorrow!
Over the time of its existence, this international trade fair has become for agricultural producers the starting point to the future. This year, 2,700 manufacturers from various countries exhibited their agricultural machinery and equipment. No doubt, Agritechnica today represents the global farming tomorrow.
The team of AgroCentre customers visited fifteen expositions of leading machinery and equipment manufacturers.
‘Agritechnica is probably the best opportunity to learn today what will be operating in the fields tomorrow’, says Dmitry Ivanov, Sales Director of AgroCentreZakharovo LLC. ‘We are happy that our customers are so progressive, they think of tomorrow and how to work more efficiently.’
As usual, the exposition of AGCO multi-brand corporation astounded the guests with the diversity as well as the size of the site and the scope of plans and offers of innovative solutions for Russian agricultural producers.
One of the most memorable models in the range of Single Disc air drills widely acknowledged in Russia is the Challenger 9830NT Series with the working width of nine metres.
‘We offer a different concept of a seeder’, says Aleksey Gushchin, Regional Sales Manager of AGCO-RM joint venture. ‘Its core feature is that unlike the other machines of this model range, this seeder has a seed tank installed on the frame and not behind the drilling mechanism, which adds maneuverability. The central element of the novelty, the Challenger single disc colter with a proven efficiency in quality seed embedding, has not been changed. As for the seed tank, it is one of the largest – 6,200 litres – among the machines of this category.’
The introduction of the new E Series track tractors became the most breathtaking moment for the guests. Next year already, the machines will hit the Russian market.
These innovations are presented by improved models of the globally acknowledged flagship MT800 C Series tractors unmatched in their performance and reliability. They are fitted with the 12-cylinder V-shaped AGCO Power engine with the 16.8 litre capacity ensuring a softer ride and fuel efficiency by means of improved workflow.
In Russia, the E Series will be available in three models with a rated output from 500 to 600 hp: МТ855Е, МТ865Е, МТ875Е. The machines will be fitted with the Tier 2 engines specially for the Russian market.
Fendt ‘knocked the socks off’ the Agritechnica audience by debuting the new 1000 Series tractor. This commercial tractor, 500 hp, is the only one worldwide featuring an unbreakable frame. No other tractor manufacturer has been able to design anything like that.
The creators of the Fendt 1000 Series tractors promised: these models will get on the Russian market in the second half of the next year.
‘We keep on improving our tractors’, says Aleksandr Tsaytler, Regional Fendt Sales Manager in the Eastern Europe and the CIS Countries. ‘The improvements in our unique Fendt VarioGrip Pro tyre pressure regulation system were awarded the Gold Medal of Agritechnica – 2015. Now, it takes 35 seconds to change the tyre pressure by 1 bar and not 3-4 minutes as it used to be.’
AGCO also announced to the customers of AgroCentre the debut of the new Massey Ferguson tractors with an output of 80-120 hp. According to the promises of the company specialists, these machines will come to replace the renowned local low-horsepower tractors. They do not conceal either that the machines are going to be 30% more expensive but also unrivalled in this segment in terms of comfort and reliability.
Further, the AgroCentre team headed for Vaderstadt booth to get acquainted with the new 16-row Tempo L precision planter. It should be noted that the 8-row Tempo planter was first introduced at Agritechnica – 2011, and its innovative PowerShoot seed placement technology, which still has no equivalents, made a real sensation proving that speed did not interfere with quality sowing. Back then, it also won the hearts of our producers. If only the size had not been too small for Russian fields.
‘Specifically for the scales of Russian producers, we designed this large 16-row model’, says Pavel Vilchinsky, Representative of Vaderstad. ‘With high planting speed (up to 18 km/h), the output of the Tempo L can be 260 ha/day, and it is more than the conventional 24 – row-crop planters can do’.
In addition, Vaderstad presented the Tempo V sugar beet planter, but the launch of this model is expected only in 2017.
The Spirit 900C planter caught interest of a number of guests. Models with the working width of 3 metres and 4 metres are already available on the market, but this 9-metre model is also designed to meet the specific needs of Russian farms. As all Vaderstad implements, the planter can run at a high speed of 18-20 km/h.
Besides, the new Spirit is equipped with the Automatic Crossboard – the system of automatic control and even distribution of harvest residues. It prevents the planter from raking up the vegetation residues. This function is very convenient for operators working nights in poor visibility conditions. Definitely for a reason, the system was awarded the Silver Medal of Agritechnica.
The exposition site of JCB celebrating its 70th anniversary this year was also looking forward to the guests coming.
Out of the JCB novelty range, the guests from AgroCentre were most interested in two models. The first one is the highest capacity JCB 560-80 Agri telescopic handler with a 5 m3 bucket. It is a perfect fit for big farms where handling heavy loads is very important.
The second one is the JCB 525-60 telehandler. There are no length or width limitations for it. It will access any cow barn, poultry shed or outbuilding with low ceilings and narrow gateways perfectly well. Moreover, the telehandler is equipped with a 2-metre pallet fork for transporting poultry containers.
‘In the nearest two years, we are planning to put extra focus not only on large but also mid-scale and small-scale farms’, comments Svetlana Petrova, Agricultural Equipment Business Manager in Russia. ‘So, such farms require a different productivity, and they have different financial possibilities. Today we introduce the JCB 526-56 telehandler with the maximum lift capacity of 3.6 tonnes and the maximum lift height of 5.6 metres. It is exactly what a Russian farmer needs.
The model is more compact and has a little less engine power as compared to its ‘elder brothers’ in the model line, but it has taken over absolutely all other features. The only difference is the gear hydraulic 80 l/ min pump, thanks to which the model is going to be more affordable. This telehandler will keep on saving your money even after sales. According to the research, the JCB 526-56 Agri consumes on average only 5 litres of fuel per hour.
Agritechnica – 2015 has appeared to be not only a review of state-of-the-art technical innovations, one could also feel a strong demand of the Russian agricultural producers for smart machines. A growing number of AgroCentre customers show interest in smart services such as E-control by Vaderstad or LiveLink by JCB enabling to monitor all performance parameters of a machine, control its state and operation.
In search for the machine intellect, the AgroCentre team dropped in at the booth representing NivaControl system. It is the first and the only system for control, monitoring and analysis of farming machinery operation designed specifically for the Russian agricultural industry. A number of agricultural producers commented after trying it that it is an excellent assistant in taking important production decisions and performing analysis of farm operation costs.
‘Agritechnica is a huge exhibition and the agricultural industry in miniature at the same time, it is a forecast of what is going to be relevant tomorrow’, says Vladimir Klementyev, Director of Agro-VVEK LLC (Chelyabinsk region). ‘The trip with AgroCentre has helped to sort out what is relevant in the global farming today, what machines and systems are of interest currently. It is also important that irrespective of the current geopolitical situation, nobody pushes Russia in the background, on the contrary, Russia is considered a promising agricultural producer and consumer of modern farming machinery. So, we will promote this trend.’


Hey, I am preparing my coop and run for the chickens. Currently the height of the top of the run is only 2-3 ft. high. Would this be alright to keep chickens in? It is still long and wide enough, and gives them enough area, just not very high. Also, I plan to allow them a couple of hours a day of structured, supervised, free-run time, outside of the coop and run. What do you think? Thanks!

USDA’s first Western Spring & Summer stream flow forecast for 2016 is out and according to meteorologist Brad Rippey, “That kind of reiterate the fact we had this great start to the wet season across the Northwest.”
With Maine Northwest River Basin stretching east of the Northern Rockies expecting normal to significantly above normal run off. “And that should serve to fill some of those reservoir that is still a bit on the low side across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.”
Meanwhile less favorable run off season is noted for the eastern slopes of the Rockies. “Where runoff at this early stage in the game is expected to be somewhat below average. ” Average runoff is expected in California.
“Even when you move into the Southwest there as well, we’re expecting average to above average runoff, so the west as a whole most optimistic right off season that we’re facing here in about 5 years.”
Rippey adds as well as drought is shrinking in the west, “We like to see even more storminess and some of the hardest hit for your drought areas of California and the Great Basin.”

The Minneapolis Grain Exchange has been doing a monthly conference calls with commentary on USDA crop and supply/demand reports for many years. Now they are doing the same for their friends north of the border.
Today was the inaugural MGEX conference call in conjunction with the Stats Canada agricultural data releases, following the release of March Intentions of Principal Field Crop Areas, 2012 report. The call included commentary on the data from Dennis Cajigas from Zaner Group. The first call had several Canadian journalists tuned in, as well as farm broadcaster Al Gustin of KFYR in Bismark, ND who asked about the impact recent developments regarding the Canadian Wheat Board may have had on this year’s planting intentions in Canada.
All of the MGEX conference calls are posted on the exchange website – links right on the front page. Contact Rita Maloney or Joe Victor at MGEX if you would like to receive notices about upcoming calls.

The Canadian Wheat Board represents some 75,000 grain growers, and
handles all Western wheat and barley destined for export and human use.
The CWB is 100% self-supporting, and, with $5 billion in annual sales,
is a real power in the international marketplace. Backed by the Canadian
Grain Commission's excellent quality assurance, the Board uses its
exclusive "single-desk selling" power -- its much-maligned "monopoly" --
to get the best possible prices, transportation rates, and quality
premiums for its producers. The CWB is worth $700-$800 million annually
to farmers, averaging almost $10,000 per farm.
And it's not just farmers who benefit. A 2005 Price Waterhouse
Coopers study credited the Board with a "huge" economic impact totaling
$1.6 billion annually, including some 14,000 non-farm jobs. The CWB
moves 20 to 30 million tonnes of grain a year over Canadian rail lines
and through Canadian ports in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and
Quebec, making it one of Canada's biggest rail shippers and one of our
strongest East-West links. The Board has also been a crucial player in
protecting grain customers -- including Canadian consumers -- from the
risks of GM (genetically modified) wheat.

European Food Security & Impact of Ukraine – Lunch Debate Summary
On Tuesday, 13 February 2024, the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) held a working lunch titled “European Food Security and
Impact of Ukraine” in partnership with SME Europe of the European People’s Party (EPP) at the European Parliament. ZPP partnered also with the European Enterprise Alliance. The opening remarks were delivered by Ivan Štefanec, MEP and President of SME Europe followed by the keynote address given by Janusz Wojciechowski, the European Commissioner for Agriculture. Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of the Economy of Ukraine, and Trade Representative of Ukraine provided an intervention about the importance of the topic to set up the floor for the panel. The panel discussion featured Marcin Nowacki, Vice President of Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers, along with Michaela Šojdrová, MEP, Nazar Bobitski, Director of the EU office, Ukrainian Agribusiness Club Association (UCAB) and Pauline Weil, Economist at Bruegel; moderated by Dr. Horst Heitz, Executive Director of SME Europe.
Ivan Stefanec, MEP, IMCO, ITRE Committees, President of SME Europe, In his welcome speech, as the host of the event, extended his gratitude to the distinguished guests, including Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski for their valuable presence. He emphasized the critical importance of European food security, particularly amidst the challenges posed by Russia’s unjust military aggression against Ukraine as well as the significance of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in ensuring food availability and supporting European farmers. Regarding Ukraine, Stefanec highlighted its pivotal role as the “breadbasket of Europe” and a major supplier of essential commodities to the EU. Despite disruptions caused by Russia’s invasion, Ukraine remains a reliable partner in ensuring global food security. The EU’s adoption of trade liberalization measures, including Autonomous Trade Measures (ATMs), underscores its commitment to supporting Ukraine in this challenging time. Crucially, Stefanec acknowledged the concerns raised by European farmers regarding the impact of unlimited imports from Ukraine, which have led to a sharp decline in the value of cereals production in the EU. MEPs’ calls for a comprehensive EU food security plan and the importance of the Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture in shaping the EU’s farming and food system carry a strategic development. Policymakers need to ensure that they implement policies to strengthen European food security while addressing the challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
“Europe is safe; there is no need for future concerns regarding food security as the EU, the biggest food exporter in the world, boasts surplus agricultural products.’’ — Janusz Wojciechowski, European Commissioner for Agriculture.
Janusz Wojciechowski, European Commissioner for Agriculture, addressed several critical points regarding the EU’s agricultural landscape and its relations with Ukraine, highlighting the significant surplus of agricultural products within the EU, boasting a surplus of over 20 million tonnes, and emphasizing the region’s robust food security measures. Regarding Ukraine, Wojciechowski noted a substantial increase in Ukraine’s exports to the EU post-2020, reaching a value of over €12 billion. Despite this increase, he expressed concerns about the negative balance of trade between the EU and Ukraine, which stood at approximately €10 billion in recent years, underscoring the challenges posed by Russia’s influence in pushing Ukraine out of certain markets and stressing the need to support Ukraine’s transport infrastructure, particularly focusing on Baltic ports and Germany. Additionally, he discussed the need for harmonized standards between Ukraine and other trading partners like Morocco to ensure fair competition for EU farmers, addressing legislative procedures affecting agricultural markets. Emphasizing the importance of European cooperation, Wojciechowski also highlighted the need to diversify export markets beyond neighbouring countries, shedding light on the complex dynamics of EU-Ukraine agricultural relations and the challenges ahead in ensuring fair trade practices and food security.
Taras Kachka, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine – Trade Representative of Ukraine, discussed various challenges impacting Ukraine’s agriculture, including security concerns and disruptions in global trade patterns. He highlighted logistical issues faced by traders, particularly regarding port blockades, which led to market turbulence and increased reliance on Romanian ports. Kachka emphasized the importance of security support from the EU and emphasized positive relations with Romania. He also noted the evolving dynamics in the Black Sea region and the ongoing efforts to align with EU standards. There is a necessity of support in adapting to EU policies and caution against speculative practices. Furthermore, he underscored the significance of strategic partnerships for ensuring food security and maintaining a balanced trade approach, especially amidst invitations to join the EU. Overall, Kachka shed light on the intricate challenges within Ukraine’s agricultural sector, advocating for informed decision-making to sustainably navigate trade dynamics and ensure long-term stability.
“Failing to address the economic and social challenges jeopardizes Ukraine’s integration momentum and risks losing crucial social support. Monitoring and mediating activities along the Ukraine border, especially regarding agriculture and carriers, are vital for maintaining stability.” — Marcin Nowacki, Vice President of Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers.
Marcin Nowacki, Vice President of Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers, highlighted crucial aspects of the EU’s policy toward Ukraine. He emphasized the need for transparent and predictable trade policies between Ukraine and the EU, urging against sudden trade blockades and recommending revisions to the embargo on Ukrainian agri-food products. In addressing EU food security, he advocated for a shift away from restrictive climate policies, stricter mechanisms to combat animal diseases, and mandatory compliance with EU production standards for imported food. Nowacki also stressed the necessity of a careful review of EU trade agreements and support for organized forms of farming to bolster small farms’ market position. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of developing transport infrastructure on the eastern flank of the EU, emphasizing increased state border capacities and investment in warehousing, storage, rail, and port infrastructure in Poland to facilitate goods redistribution from Ukraine, backed by EU financial support.
Michaela Šojdrová, MEP, CULT, AGRI Committees, echoed the urgent concerns of farmers grappling with the repercussions of climate change and the European Green Deal’s stringent regulations on fertilizer usage. She deliberated extensively on Ukraine’s internal agricultural policies, particularly its ongoing accreditation process, highlighting the need for swift interventions to mitigate unfair competition and uphold EU standards. Notably, there was also an emphasis on the imperative of proactive measures to safeguard the livelihoods of farmers amidst the influx of imports from Ukraine. A collective call for a thorough examination of the Commission’s proposed strategies to address these challenges effectively is a necessity. Moreover, It is significant to engage in constructive dialogues to foster collaboration and ensure equitable conditions for all farmers. The exchange of insights and perspectives paved the way for innovative solutions and actionable steps to protect the interests of European agriculture while promoting sustainable practices. As the discussions progressed, Mep Šojdrová articulated the expectations from the Commission, urging it to take decisive actions that align with the best interests of farmers and uphold the integrity of the agricultural sector.
Nazar Bobitski, Director of the EU office, of the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club Association (UCAB) presented significant points regarding Ukraine’s macroeconomic outlook for 2024. He highlighted the country’s grim economic situation, citing a record-high NBU currency reserves at the beginning of the year but a concerning balance of payments deficit reaching the worst levels since the 2008 financial crisis. He also raised concerns about the 2024 national budget deficit and the potential consequences of inadequate financial support, including significant currency devaluation and economic shocks. Moreover, Bobitski underscored the importance of preserving access for Ukrainian agri-food products to the EU market, highlighting their critical role in Ukraine’s trade balance and economic stability. He also discussed the challenges posed by Russian aggression, including production losses and environmental damage. Looking ahead, a need for Ukraine to align with EU agricultural policies while ensuring a level playing field for Ukrainian agroproducers and promoting sustainability principles.
Pauline Weil, Economist, Bruegel, presented research into the macroeconomic situation two years into the Russian aggression against Ukraine. She emphasized the significant role of the UK and Russia in the globally traded food supply, highlighting challenges in both production and logistics arising from the aggression. Weil expressed global concern over historically high food prices, noting the potential for heightened food insecurity, reminiscent of events like the Arab Spring. However, she mentioned that prices have eased since April 2022 due to strong harvests, declining shipping costs, and more affordable energy and fertilizer prices. Weil discussed the impact felt at local levels in the UK, EU, and Ukraine, particularly the disruptions in grain exports from Ukraine through the Black Sea. She highlighted the EU’s financial support package and measures to address import restrictions, emphasizing the enduring local impacts and the need to address competition distortions amid trade liberalization in the food sector.
