Look Out!

• I forgot yesterday was an important day in the equine industry.

• I only know this because my wife walked in on me when I was in the shower and said Happy Birthday.

• I digress.

• The wheat and corn sell off continues on the futures markets.

• Beans however held their own in the nearby and were firmer in the back end.

• The Egyptian government is holding a tender for wheat tonight. My guess is Russian will be the winner, winner chicken dinner sub the USD $260 C&F (Cost and freight) level.

• The Egyptians have been absent from the market for some time as money is extremely tight and they need a little bit of assistance from other countries, like Nimble and a bit like Nimble and Afterpay.

• The Egyptian government buys wheat to make a subsidised flatbread known as “Baladi” or local bread. It’s very basic, high extraction flour with a high ash content, which is supplied to the market, rather than providing a Centrelink payment.

• Unemployed and less fortunate Egyptians are given food to survive. It’s not a great system, yet some other governments have toyed with a similar system, but instead of supplying bread to survive, they have considered a plastic card for food purchases, a bit like a developed world Baladi Bread system.

• But like all government programs, inefficiencies have crept in, and donkeys and camels are also beneficiaries of the cheap subsidised “Baladi” bread.

• I wish our government would come and feed my horses.
