Worsening drought in New South Wales is lifting feedgrain values, which appear to have reached a ceiling of about $400 per tonne delivered Darling Downs. Graziers in northern, central and parts of southern NSW are buying feed hand-to-mouth for sheep and cattle as pastures dwindle and hay supply tightens.
Cottonseed prices are about $50/t higher since April on strong grazier demand, while the export market is slow because Australian cottonseed is uncompetitive at current values.
Drought-driven grazier demand is tightening Australian feedgrain and cottonseed supplies and supporting local prices, with hand-to-mouth buying adding a premium. Export competitiveness for cottonseed is being squeezed, which may keep domestic values firm.
