# Feed costs ease as wheat and soya prices fall

> UK feed wheat fell £5/t in October, while soyameal declined to £364/t at the start of November from £388/t a month earlier. The lower ingredient prices reduced the spot cost of a basic layers’ ration by £13/t, although it remained nearly £30/t above a year earlier. The article cites good crop reports, a large US soybean harvest and encouraging early results from Argentina’s wheat harvest, alongside uncertainty over Black Sea exports.

## Why it matters

Improved crop prospects and ample US soybean supplies add pressure to wheat and soybean-meal prices, easing feed costs for buyers. Black Sea security and disrupted logistics could constrain export flows and limit further declines.
